i dont know about nv3500 with a 5.9 offering but it was offered in the 5.2. since the bell housing fits both there is no issue. use the 5.2 housing. steve steve lusardi wrote toms data is correct but what he did not say is the ram 1500 manual computer works fine with the 5.9. you do have to use the 5.9 injectors though and the injector electrical connectors are different so you have to modify the 5.2 wiring harness accordingly. also the nv3500 is plenty strong enough for the 5.9 in a 1500 ram so itll be a piece of cake in the dak. please also remember that the 5.2 is internally balanced and the 5.9 is externally balanced so you must use the 5.9 manual flywheel and pressure plate from the 2500/3500 along with the clutch disc from the 5.2 nv3500 pilot shaft spline. depending on the year of the pcm and harness you may have either 1 or 2 oxygen sensors and 1 or 2 water temp sensors. you will be amazed just how fast this setup is right out of the garage door even with the dual throat throttle body iron manifolds and single exhaust. on another of your points the gear spacing of the nv3500 is perfect for your application. you should run a 30 inch tire and a 3.55 axle. that will give you 85 mph at 2500 in 5th. with just a little care you will see 17+ mpg. steve the 5.9 came with an nv3500 application was that 4wd or 2wd i thought they never had anything except the nv4500 behind the 5.9. great info from you once again but i think you are confusing part of it with the person that posted about a 5.9 into a 5.2 dak. my nv swap is to replace the 46re in my 98 5.9 zj jeep. the nuts and bolts of this swap seem pretty straightforward. i knew about the 5.9 balance and using the right flywheel but i did not know about using the 5.9 pressure plate with a 5.2 clutch disc. i wonder if those parts can be bought separately i plan on using the computer from a 98 5.9 manual ram. i know the pcm and harness are physically direct swaps with the jeep parts but i might need a wire or two swapped/added/deleted at the connector. the deal in ma is the emissions inspection machine enters the vehicle vin right out of the pcm and it has to match the actual vehicle vin so i need my vin in it. still having a heck of a time finding out if it is possible to burn my vin into a used pcm out of another truck. i hear you cant flash a vin if the pcm already has one but i have also heard there are ways it can be done. still researching that part of it. i can get it flashed into a new or remanufactured pcm for the same application but id like to keep this swap to used parts if possible. ill be posting in the next day or so about the jeep/dodge/46re/nv3500 transfer case swap compatibility. maybe youll be able to help on that too. thanks again folks - john. .
