2009 JKU Rubi gets 2021 ram 1500 4x4 5.7 and 8HP75 with21 miles on it....... yes I said 8HP75 and only 21 miles!
Got a great deal from schram auto parts.....about 5200$ with all accessory's and belts/hoses intact.
Working with Todd at JSS to get this swap with the 8HP75. This is a testing/discovery install for the
new 8HP75 tranny and JK shifter.
I have also retained the stock truck exhaust instead of using grand Cherokee exhaust and manifolds.
I have a budget of 12k and will have to fab some items myself to try and keep it there..... "rolling eyes"

Delivered 6 days after ordering dec 12.......

Difference in 2021 ram and 2010 5.7 grand Cherokee manifolds... to much restriction for me...used the ram manifolds

The ram manifolds also have a reinforcement bar running under the bolts.

Mockup from what's left of my 3.8 long tube header exhaust and Camaro cats, new exhaust is not in the budget unfortunately.
