    Hello guys,
    I have 2006 freightliner century sleeper Eaton 10 speed with S60 12.7 in it, it’s approaching a million miles soon, still working good with some blow by & worn clutch & transmission. I have a friend selling his 2007 Columbia day cab with S60 14L & Eaton 10 speed with only 500,000 miles on it with a rebuild transmission & new clutch kit, I drove it for a couple of days & it’s in great condition. As I need a sleeper truck I was thinking in stead of doing an in frame & replace the transmission & clutch, to buy his truck & swap the engine & transmission, both are EGR engines with air actuated turbos.
    My question is it gonna be plug & play, i mean will my harness plugs in all sensors, injectors and ecm of the 14l engine? Is it same engine mounts? etc...

    Thank you so much
