I have the truck listed above. I replaced the engine with a 2008 Ram 5.7. I have a 2009 wiring harness and a 2011 ECU. The ECU will let the truck crank over just will not fire and run I'm also missing a couple sensor connections due to not having the correct harness. What should I do?

Hi,

Is there a reason you didn't reuse the 2011 harness? That is what needs to be done. Let me know. Also, let me know what sensor connections are missing.

Let me know.
