    having a time trying to find wiring diagrams for these trucks . changed out ddec v to ddec iv and having issues with no guages or throttle . I'm sure it's a communication issue between engine ecm & cab control box (s) . We even went so far as to purchase "motor manual wiring manuals" ---- sad expensive mistake. Any help someone might have would be greatly appreciated

    Mawk Industries seems to be well regarded for making adaptor harnesses. If there is any way other than that, you might get help here. Most engine swaps are for the same class. i.e a ddecV for another ddecV. They use different setups with plugs and even equipment like the gauges to go to a different computer.

    Is it already converted? you could just reprogram the ddecV. If you try to swap out to a ddecIII you will pretty much have to switch every sensor to the old style. And the guys that i know of who did that all switched heads because the injectors are different. Reprogramming the ddecV would keep you from having to do all that.
