Absolutely not. Engines have to be the same type to start. Transmission have to match also. I believe yours would start at 99 or 2000 and go up to 2003. Junk yard will tell you. Dodge did a swap up in 99. Some 99 transmissions would work in 2000's, but a lot of them didn't.
Hi Sheila, i'm glad to help. 99 Durango's with thew 5.2 liter engine were good about the Crank Sensors going bad. Now, as I can't say that securily with out diagnosis. If it were my vehicle and knowing what I know about no starts, that is diffinently where I would start. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Sheila.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your
feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if
you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
You'd have to replace the transmission as well if you want to run that particular engine. The 4.7L engine is a "mod" motor and the 5.9L is the good old cast iron V-8 design.
Check the thermostat, and clean or replace the idle air control valve, replace the ball joints, replace the plugs and plug wiresthis should correct the problem.
the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 , distributor spins clockwise, so find number one on the distributor cap and then the next cylinder will be #8 and so on in a clockwise direction
The solution I have found is in the connectors on the wiring harness
that plugs onto the computer. After the engine bay gets hot (especially
in the summer) the connectors get soft and the tiny pins inside them
lose contact. Leave the key in the on position, pop the hood and press
on the middle connector on the left hand side on the fender well
(passenger side) where the computer is. The computer looks like a small
power amp for a car stereo and the 3 connectors are under/below it.
The middle one seems to be the gremlin. It only takes a slight push
and you will here the fuel injectors energize (buzz) and the key chime
will start dinging inside the car. Then go back inside and turn the key
off and then on to start your car. If it works, put some silver or
white HVAC (Duct) tape on the connector. If it happens again, at least
you know where the problem is, and usually it just needs to be adjusted
and more tape on it. I have only had to adjust one time in 6 months
Now at least you can drive the truck again to a cliff or a field and
torch it. I know that there are many other problems with the 99
Durango, but maybe by the time you see this there will be a solution
from Dodge before someone is killed after their truck stalls in the
middle of the freeway loaded with kids. Let me know if this works for
