    5.9 Swap Preliminary Research Questions

    That means it's a CCD bus. Which means the PCM from your 2003 truck won't work. You need a 2001.5 or older PCM. Year doesn't matter but you want it from a base model truck.

    A/C under the hood but no A/C controls

    OBA is a nice option. But A/C depending on where you live can be more important.

    Nope this is a fine spot. And you'll get the most help since it's seen the most. Pictures would definitely help us offer advice too.

    How To LS Swap Your TJ

    I don't either but if you're are given a vehicle I guess you can do it cheaper. After my first V-8 swap I'd never do another without going through the engine first.

    How To LS Swap Your TJ

    Depends on your insurance company. Some allow you to state a value and then insure it for that amount. State Farm says they want receipts showing the additional parts. And from what I've read Hagerty has some stritc rules about usage. But I've never checked.

    5.9 Swap Preliminary Research Questions

    5.9 is the same size as the 5.2. Only difference between them is the drivers side motor mount. And yes the engine that the block cracked was a 5.9 with a stroker kit. Making it a 6.7. 5.2's rev faster where the 5.9 revs slower plus runs warmer.

    How To LS Swap Your TJ

    First off let's discuss price. Doesn't matter if it's a LS or Hemi or diesel swap none of them are cheap.... DIY price is $5k-12k depending on engine. Paying someone to do it and you're talking $20k-30k most likely. Performance is worth it. Period.
