Call your local dealership and ask them. The service dept. can look it up on the computer.

I say yes injector firing is the same voltage just the injector size is different. Run the complete HO motor and you should be fine! If it comes with the ECM then just have it programmed to your truck done deal!

That's what I have heard from 3 people now so I just went and bought the motor. It had zero blow by not a single bit of pressure out the oil cap, ran smooth, no lights , great oil press someone took care of it. I wound up getting it for 3k

Whats the fastest way to take these engines out. Is it easier to pull the everything off the front or will it make it up over the core support?

Take the entire front off Not Bumper. I cut the cross brace between the two mounting screws on both sides to remove.. Others have other ways but this is the simplest I found. It comes out as a unit really easy unplug the main harnesses and done. Disconnect the tranny too!
