I am going to be trying to put a 6spd (Allison if possible)of some sort into my 00' 1500 some time here in the next 6 mo to a year... some day my engine is going to wear out and I am most certainly replacing it with a diesel. Since my truck is light duty and will never see above say 8,000lbs... I am looking to put in something small. Maybe find a wrecked Liberty CRD and yank out it's 2.8L motor. Do any of you know if a swap like this would be possible??? I ride mostly around 60,000 mi a year on the hwy so I figure a smaller engine idling down the hwy with the same amount of torque as I have now... coupled with a tough 6spd would be awesome!!! omg I love my truck!!!
