Got the first part done. Now find a ford and swap the engine and trans into it and you will be set. Those trucks are expensive to keep on the road with the quirks of a dodge.
Congrats on the new truck NC, they are great trucks!
I bought a new ford powerjoke 3/4 ton in 2004. That truck never went two weeks without having to go to the shop to fix something. Nearing the end of the warranty, we figured we could never afford that truck without warranty coverage so I traded it in on the 2007 Dodge Cummins 1 ton. It has never seen the inside of the dealership garage except to check two recalls. Never broken once. In my experience, the ford is the quirky vehicle.
As the bumper sticker saying goes, "I'd rather be 'Cummin' than 'Strokin'"
