i currently found a 4x4 v10 ram 2500 and i want to swap the frames with my truck that is 2wd and i have a tranny question: will the transmission swap seamlessly along with everything else? i believe in theory it all should but im just check its at a price i cant beat to just swap frames

from what i read before the V-10 and Cummins used the same trans. BUT is the bolt pattern different on the back of the Cummins motor than on the V-10.?

to get a quick answer go to fordcummins.com. call them,they will help you.
Good luck.

we started to tear the doner tuck apart today and had to make a few cuts today so that the extended cab will fit i added all the photos and everything to my facebook for anyone to see http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=94117&id=637899398&saved#/album.php?aid=94117&id=637899398&ref=nf


some questions:
how hard is it to change the ratio in the rear end of the truck as my truck has 4 disk brakes and this one has drum which i hate. is there any way i can swap the gears and swap the axles to have all 4 disk brakes?
