As long as the two trucks are the same (ie, cali trucks or non cali-trucks) it should be a direct swap. Even if one is a cali truck, the engine would still work but might need minor mods(different ecu, etc.). The earlier engine you speak of is the IDI motor. It was last used in 1994 for the auto trucks. Adam

Hi Rusty

Thanks for the reply.you are right about the idi engine.but in 1995

they used 2 different injecter pumps and injecters.

I am trying to find out if they will work, without swapping all that.
