'05 5.7 into '02 4.7 truck

Post by m37boblee »

I've bought an '05 5.7 4x4 drivetrain with harness and computer. I am going to replace my 4.7 drivetrain with it(has 220,000 miles). I'm trying to see what i am getting into before I start. Where can I find some swap info for this kind of a swap?
Thanks

I guess I'll let you know what I've found so far. The wiring under the hood is completely different between the '02 and the '05. You need ALL of the wiring under the hood- both major harnesses. You also need to get the fly by wire gas pedal, and the fusebox too. The old fusebox looks the same, but things are fused in different places in the box, so it is easier to swap them. Also you have to have the ABS sensor on the left front wheel- if you don't have 4 wheel ABS you will have to add this- I got the sensor at the junkyard for a dollar. This will require the bearing pak with the tone ring. Driveshafts are the same, if you are replacing like transmissions.
When I find out more I'll let you know.
