So it's all done and swapped?

They aren't swapped yet. We just got the one completely stripped. Im gonna go pick up the other truck this week so we can do it Friday and Saturday

are they both either 94-97 or post '98? Trying to cross swap will not be easy by any means. Be sure to check the headlamp switch as they changed a few times as well.

The worst part is we don't know. We were never told. We're just doing everything we can and anything else is left to him.

One is a 98 12 valve and the other is pre 98 I believe. It has the pull headlamp switch instead of the knob.

The sport said 98 in the door frame on that sticker

Lt.Dan · 04-23-2012, 05:45 PM

Oh that's right

DoubleTakeDodge · 04-23-2012, 05:48 PM

Yeah. so hopefuly everything will match up

There are a number of changes during the 98-99 years, so just double check. Even the seat belts changed slightly and I had to make a custom harness change for mine when I swapped in some newer 99 seats.

If I'm not mistaken, the pull knob switch is more likely to overheat than the turn style. Don't remember if the plug is the same, if they won't switch, just be sure to add a small hole in the vent line above the switch to allow the pull knob style to cool better....or upgrade to a Sport harness.

FYI, the 98 12 valve is a rare truck if it is a quad cab unit. I know a number of guys who would drool over one.....
