Having problems with my 99 6.8 . Found a 2006 3 valve 6.8 can it be swapped in my 99 ? Also it was never in a vehicle it was used on a genrac generator and run on LP ! Can this be done ? It's a really good deal if it will work thanks for any and all help and info !

 

Different transmissions. 99-04 use a 4R100 and the 05+ use a 5R110. Not sure about the wiring and mounts.

 

ok thank u looks like I'm on the hunt again ! Was hoping it would work the motor only had 10 hrs on it for $1200

 

Hmm... a 3-valve, running on LP. Take many many many pictures of the intake and post them here

One of the biggest problems with transplanting a 3-valve motor into a 2-valve truck was the variable-volume intake plenum setup and how it requires a 3-valve computer to control it. It would be very interesting to see what kind of intake that industrial V10 uses.

 

Actually, are you SURE it's a 3-valve? Plastic or aluminum valve covers?

 

Looked like plastic , actually the intake looked like mine too ! I have a few pics they r not real clear but I'll try and post them . So there might be a chance it's not a 3valve , if it's not will it bolt to my Trans in my 99 ?

 

If it's a 2-valve, it'll fit - and all the sensors should hook up ...

I'm trying to remember the one thing different between the pre-2000 non-PI, and the 2000-up PI-head V10... someone mentioned a certain sensor was in a different place.

Do you have an EGR valve?

 

Where should I look for the egr valve ? If it a 3 valve would I be able to tell by looking in the exhaust port ?

 

I think the EGR is on the back of the intake.

Plain and simple: Plastic valve covers is 2-valve, aluminum is 3-valve.

 

Well it's been along couple of months but we finally got my industrial 08 v-10 swapped into my 99 v-10 truck ! Had to swap the timing cover , oil pan and pick up , oil cooler , water pump , and re route the heater hose , and spark plugs , but it's all in and runs perfect ! Thanks for all the help ! It was a pretty big job !

 

when you have enough post to be able to PM and send emails...can you send me info on where the engine is and contact info.

 

It was in poseyville Indiana , I bought one and he has another but no intake , my 99 intake won't fit on it . Doug's standerd is name of the place 812-874-3419
