Ecodiesel Swap

Hello, I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Std Cab Short Box V6 & 6spd manual transmission. Was thinking of looking for a ecodiesel power plant out of the newer generation ram trucks. Any thoughts on this swap? Or does anyone have other ideas for a motor swap?

I don't know how much work it would involve but having worked on cars and trucks quite a bit, I would think that it wouldn't be worth the effort. Everything on the truck is engineered to work well together, so you would probably have a lot of parts to change and bugs to work out.

I'm sure it's possible if you really want to do it, but it sounds like a lot of money and a lot of work to me. It would probably be much easier to go with the same V8 that came in the 2008 trucks. Good luck either way.
