Subject: 5-speed Swap IP: Logged
Message: I asked this about a year ago when I first got the dakota but I want to swap out the auto behind my 5.9 for a 5 speed. I'm at a point where I'm ready to do this now so I'm going start searching hardcore for answers.
It is my understanding that the 5-speed out of the 5.2 will bolt up.
I'm wondering if anyone has done this swap (either with a 5.9 or a 5.2) and knows all the different pieces I'll need to collect.
I can figure out most of the mechanical stuff. I'm thinking, right now, about the computer. Do I need to find a different computer? Or, do I have to have mine modified?
This is posted in the "performance" forum as well.
Any information, no matter how rudimentary, will be appreciated. (Including pointing me to past forum discussions if you know of something.)
Thanks,
ron
