A real pain in da rear I'm sure. Computer swap
would not be that easy either.

You have a 04 V6? Just wondering if you might be
having the engine missing problem yet? I drove
a 04 and almost bought it untill I heard about
DC's problem with the V6.

nope, no missing problem so far, but it's only been 9,000 miles - i'm sure that problem will arise in mile 70,002.

Very easy swap to a 4.7 or a 5.7 tranny work just find will need engine ecu can be bought for under $200 and most salvage yards atleast in my erea you will get the engine wireing harness when you purchase your engine if not these can be had for under $150. will also need radiator upgrade. all accesorieres from your 3.7 fit the 4.7 the whole swap can be done for under $2000. the miss problem in the 3.7 is an easy fix update the coil paks at around 60000 and replace plugs at that time .DO NOT USE A PLATNUM PLUG EVER IN A PRE 08 DODGE.
