Hello,
I have a 2000 Dakota king cab 2 Dr 3.9 v6 automatic 4 wd with 230,000 miles.
No 3 and 5 cylinders have ZERO compression.
I want to swap out the motor with a salvage yard 3.9
To avoid any potential gremlins, what year motors will drop into this with the least amount of issues ?
I want to avoid the electronic/computer issues there lies my biggest concern.
Then, are there any other areas I need to keep an eye on to avoid problems ?
Thanks in advance
