Are Jeep 5.9 Magnum cranks pilot bushing ready?
Hi Folks, new member here.
Main question:
Ive heard that not all magnum cranks are drilled for pilot bushings. Is this true?
I know of one (and only one!) person who did this swap on a 98 5.9 GCL and his crank waspilot bushing ready from the factory.
I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 LTD. Planning on doing a "budget" 5spd swap with a Dodge Ram NV 5 speed.
Looking for street performance use as opposed to off road use.
If it's true that some are/some aren't is there any way to tell by engine S/N or anything? If mine is not drilled that's obviously a show stopper and I don't want to have to pull the trans just to find out the whole project is a no-go.
I have a few other questions about PCM flashing and NV trans applications that I'll post later.
Also - I'm not familiar with the Ram generations. Which generation range does a 1998 Ram fall into?
Thanks for any help - John
