You'll be just fine, the motors are exactly the same. Just swap the motors, and use the same harness.

hmm 3.0 and a auto i rather have the 5spd

So you say it should go right in with no prob ?
I thought of using the 5spd tranny...but that would be to much work to change everything over with the little time I have to get tis done.
Thanks for your repls guys..

Isn't the 5 speed that much more fun to drive though?

I am by no means an expert, but if you start thinking of swapping trannies I believe you will start running into some sensor, wiring, ECM issues.

Basically, you have to keep the ECM, sensors and wires with the tranny they currently exist with.

So, if you put the 3.0 5SPD in the truck you want to drive, be prepared to do more than just bolt it right in.

I don't think there is a diff

He will be replacing the auto harness onto the donor vehicle. He should not have any sensor problems only if he for some reason doesnt switch harnesses he'll be fine.
