Welding the ears are no problem for me I welded for 6 years and used to be certified so beefin those ears up are nothin. nethumb:
And Harsh what I was wondering was did you ever look for an 01 computer to get flashed so you could still keep yours

Mike had a mail order PCM that was supposed to address the limp mode, hard limiter etc etc....but it never worked right. I'll leave it up to him to explain in further detail.

I am the one he referred to earlier regarding PCM flashing...

Good deal man, that aluminum is pretty brittle but I'm sure you can handle it no prob!

Ryan is correct - I had B&G flash a second ECU I had that was already an 02' manual 3.9L V6, all he had to do was change the engine flash, but he never listened to me and he flashed a late 90's dodge truck tune on it and never looked back. Dave at B&G is a piece of garbage so don't waste your time or money going to him.

Ryan will can EASILY take care of your flash and get you running well with NO CEL's since your truck is late 90's, The reason I'm having issues is because it's an 01' and all the electronics are rediculous in the newer automatic dodges, but I'm damned close to getting it figured out!

Congrats Harsh! Glad to hear you got it running good!! So glad you hung in there!

 

[HARSH-R/T]

Thanks man! I appreciate that! I drove it up the road today just to rip on it, felt great to do it and not worry about electrical issues. Friggin thing pulls hard!

I hate to say it but I STILL have no new video's.... weather sucks in NY right now.

Hey pal

Dave at B&G is a piece of garbage so don't waste your time or money going to him.

Hey pal, I agree, Dave at B&G is garbage, he did me wrong years ago on three ECMs for my 408, I did not want to comment earlier hoping he could help you or may have changed. I can say congrats on your progress and pursuing your dream of a manual conversion. I admire your patience and commitment on your project, for this your getting 1,000,000,000 rep points! lmao:bow:

 

[HARSH-R/T]

Haha, thanks alot man! I do very much appreciate the props! It wasn't easy but is a blast to drive. And yes, Dave can suck a monsterous horse penis for all care, I was respectful and instead of working with me he calls me out and says my vehicle is the problem.... whatever....

I am getting ready to do this swap into my 98 R/t. As far as the ecu...A friend told me that I could just get someone to remove the automatic transmission parameters and it will be fine...Don't know that for sure after reading all this... Hopefully it will work out. I'm sick of the problems with the 46re.

 

[HARSH-R/T]

That is correct, late 90's dodges can easily have an ecu reflash turning automatic off and manual tranny on, and have no cel's.

 

[77Aspen318]

I'm now following this closely. I've been wanting to put a Torqueflite in my WJ for a very long time. But don't want any CELs.

Hope the weather there clears up- can't think of anything you could have or should have done. :waiting:

haters will hate. appreciate the custom stuff people do. unless its a ricer. then you have the right to hate

.
This is my ricer. You can only hate my rear plate, since thats the only thing youll ever see of my ricer. Hehehe

 

[DuPratte]

"Hate" is a little strong. Most buyers of American vehicles don`t even waste thought about Jap crap. No matter how much money you sink into it, it`s still Jap crap,......... or T(u)RD.

 

[00magnum]

Hey harsh... Nice work man... Lot of tedious things involved. I had a 92 dakota with intentions of a 5 speed swap... Rebuilt the motor completely and bought a new trans... Once it was done, I sold it cause I found a 4door 4x4 5.9 2000 dakota with a shot trans... I'm buying a nv3500 tomorrow... Since mine is a 2000, sounds rougher than I thought... The donar is a 2500 ram 5.9, think the PCM will swap or should I contact Ryan??? Thx

Thats not a ricer. Thats a holy hell I just shit my self did I really see that. I consider ricer those stupid ass fart cannon not moving with it floored cars.

 

[Big_Texxan]

My dakota has been a project since I got it. Im always playing with things. I play with customer cars too. I got paid today for 40 minutes worth of work. My truck has big plans too. Stand alone computer with new motor and tranny.

I know this is an old thread but I have spent a lot of time looking at it and just put a NV3500 in my '03 R/T and thought I would share something I learned. If anyone wants to do this on a '01+ and doesn't have the funds for a custom tune, you can make it run and avoid limp mode for a couple dollars. Harsh informed us that you can ground the #6 pin on the trans range finder plug to get the truck started because it thinks it is in park/neutral. However, a problem he ran into was that the truck didn't like moving in p/n so it put itself into limp mode with a rev limiter around 3500 RPM. Not fun.

To get around this I put a toggle switch inline between the pin and the ground that is routed up to my console. So when the circuit is closed (on) it thinks it is in p/n and will start. As soon as the truck is started I turn the switch off (open the circuit) so it no longer thinks it is in p/n. I have been driving the truck like this for several weeks and the only time it went into limp mode was when I forgot to flip the switch off. I do have a couple codes for the trans but they do not impact how it drives. Hope this can help someone. Putting a stick in my truck is by far the best thing I have done to it.

(Sorry thread was hidden from me i see your nice how to remove all that senor BS, thank you)

9 years later but what the heck worth a try...
I got a little bit different of a scenario but Im still trying to mate the 5 speed and 5.9, just instead of having a 5.9 and wanting to put a 5-speed in it I have a 3.9 5 speed and I want to put the 5.9 into it since my enigne is going.

How did you basically tell your pcm to take hike with all the plugs and sensors and BS for that automatic trans? Did you lose cruise control?

After i run my wires for the 7&8 injectors because my v6 harness has the spots for it at the pcm plug. Im told i need a 2001 5.9 pcm or one from the r/t... Then once i throw the 5.9 in, plug it all up, i was told a need a trans delete and a tune.
You got a take one this? Any thing would help

Called the steelership, they ordered the sleeve or "bushing", should be here tuesday. While I'm waiting on that I cut the hole in my floor pan, drilled holes into my new mounting plate on the rear of the tranny, and then bolted in the mount itself. Hopefully next weekend I can bolt in the flywheel, clutch assy, tranny and crossmember. I'm getting excited now!

What did you use to cut the hole in the floor? I am in the process of converting my R/T to the NV3500 manual.
