Be sure to grab the throttle pedal and some of the wire harness so you can get the electronic throttle to work. Also the security system is an issue to think about. The trucks all have transponder keys that are recognized by the Body Control Module and Powertrain Control Module & cluster. Without moving the instrument cluster, steering column, multiple modules & 40lbs of wire over to the PW it will be difficult to get the spark infested engine started. There are stand alone engine management systems on the market but they bring big $$$$. 5.2-5.9L conversion is much simpler in this respect.
