I have a 1999 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel. I would like to install a 2001 Dodge Ram Cummins engine into it. I have been told that the engine would not work if I installed it. I would like to know if that's true and why.

We only recommend direct fit parts because the manufacturer's change things so rapidly. In this case, the sensor locations and types are the issue.
