I have a complete '99 that the engine has been removed and successfully swapped into an '00 (manufacture date 05/00), leaving me with the '00 engine and tranny in its bed.
Now I want to swap the complete power train from an '01 manual(maybe 01.5, has rear discs, limited slip rear end) into the '99 truck which had an auto in it, and vice versa. I plan on swapping engine, tranny, harnesses, pcms, dashes, steering columns, etc. So to clarify, I will have a '99 truck with '01?.5? Manual Power train and a '01 truck with a '00 auto power train.
My question is, since I'm swapping essentially everything, will I run into the same horror stories that I've been reading about on this forum? (Crank sensors, cams, timing covers, sensor voltages, etc.)
Just for clarity sake I do want both trucks fully operational. Just trying to manual to auto swap, and auto to manual swap these trucks.
Side question: now that I put this thought into writing, would a cab swap be easier or less headache free?
Sorry for the complex post. Thanks in advance.
