ok dumb question, is it possible to swap hemi for a diesel in mega cab , i got 06 mega and love it but didnt get diesel and regret it and if i take to dealer to trade i wil get hammered on the deal ,just wanted to know if possible or do i need to take mine back and give the dealer more money

 

it can be done. . .I know a guy that took a 1500 RC-SB V6, pulled the 3.7L tranny and axel. then slamed in a nicely built 12 valve Cummins with a fully billet 48RE and a Dana 80 rear axel. that bad boy hauls some major bootay.

the downside, it's gunna cost ya. the engine itself is going to run around 5-7K depending on what you want, and that is just the start.

once your done you would be better off tradeing in your MC for a diesel.

 

Man I just traded off my 05 Hemi, with employee pricing and 0% financing being offered I was able to eat up the negative equity and still get a sweet deal. Just something to consider, now is the time if you want to do it. I loved my Hemi, but there is no comparison. The 17.5 MPG I am getting from the cummins is much easier on my wallet than the 10.5MPG my Hemi got.

 

Anything's possible if you have the $, Just remeber that when you buy the diesel option on a truck, you get the extra suspension needs to carry the weight properly, heavy duty cooling, alternator, dual batteries, etc. There's a reason they don't offer the deisels in 1/2 ton trucks.

I'd opt to trade-in rather than trying to retrofit.
