Hey everyone! I've been searching and reading and can't seem to find my answers. My round trip to work everyday day is 120 miles round trip and I want to make my '84 chevy a daily driver. I want to swap out the 350 with the 3.0L EcoDielsel out of the new Ram1500's. I see a lot of 6.2 Diesel swaps but was curious if anyone has a link to a website or has ever done it themselves!!! Thanks in advance!!!

So maybe I'm confused. Are you asking about if anyone has done the 6.2 swap or the Ecodiesel?

OP clearly asked if anyone has swapped in a 3.0L EcoDiesel for their squarebody.

OP, I could be wrong, but I highly doubt anyone here has done such a thing. I would think it's a bit of a taboo.

EDIT: Dodge's website is kinda weird. If you look at all the Ram 1500 specs, the 3.0L isn't available for any of them. Yet, at another place on their website, they claim the 1500 is the only 1/2 half to have the 3.0L.

From the OP;

"I see a lot of 6.2 Diesel swaps but was curious if anyone has a link to a website or has ever done it themselves!"

'Clearly'?

To me, not so much. That's why I asked.

Yes, clearly. You have to understand the context.

"I want to swap out the 350 with the 3.0L EcoDielsel out of the new Ram1500's." Then the OP says, "I see a lot of 6.2 Diesel swaps, but was curious if anyone has a link to a website or has ever done it themselves!" The last part of this sentence refers back to the sentence before it.

So, yes, OP clearly stated what they wanted to ask.

OK. I guess I was reading it like, "You can't look at the sun too long."

this is ridiculous. If your asking a question on the internet on how to swap a 3.0 eco diesel into your square body your completely in over your head and will never complete or fund a swap of this caliper.
