Hey yal i have 208k miles on my 4.0 sohc i did the primary chain,guides and tensioner about 500 miles ago, i just got done with the driver side cam chain and tensioner and guides. not even 5 miles after that the rear chain tensioner broke i believe the truck started to stall and slip timing in about 2 mins i had to get home. when i parked it it would stumble but not start. i dont believe i had interference.
anyway i found someone who wants to trade a ohv for my ohc once i fix the rear chain. my questions are these.
Are there any harness differences between the 00 ohv to my 99 ohc?
I know trans will bolt up however will the flex plate?
i did read something about a cam sensor signal being different but i believe in 99 or 98 they went to the same signal.
I know im going to get the question why not a 5.0 and bc i dont wanna deal with a new trans tcase and driveshafts aswell as any other differences and i dont want a 5.0 stuffed in there.
Tried searching up but couldnt find a thread where someone actually completed the swap.
