FINALLY got it back last night!
Sorry only have one pic right now, its dadadadadiiiirtty.. I'll get some more and update this later cause unless I go to the Ole Miss/Memphis game Im going to spend the day cleaning it

SOOOOO glad to have it back, that whole ordeal was a nightmare. :ugh:

Summary, 3.7 swap is a piece of cake, MAKE SURE YOU GET AN 07 3.7. 08's are not a direct swap. remeber this kiddies. :lol:


Whats new:
3.7 swap
Painted Calipers
Xtreme 18's
Suede Headliner

Edit: oh, also it did this last night which suprised me cause I don't have the locker

Drove like 90 miles last night just driving it, the 3.7 is MUCH better, its not like OMG faster but its much more peppy, doesn't feel like it takes as much to get going, in between shift it picks up way better and I dont know how but is was quieter and has a different sound to it.. Im giddy like a school girl to have it back!

yeah man, you have to change a few things like fuel rail and egr block off plate, but if you have a complete 3.5 and a 3.7 you're all set, need the 3.7 manifold tho too

Re: Trucks back!!!! Few new things

if you swapped out your plugs from your 3.5L to your 3.7L and they weren't irridiums that would be what I would think would cause a miss :shrug:
didn't swap the plugs or coilpacks..
