It should be a fairly straightforward swap. Maybe some harnesses but that should be about it. You’re only talking a two year difference on model years, and it was before everything got complicated.
Magoo1968 Thanks this. -
Wouldn't be a hard swap but personally I'd just rebuild the isx and sell the wrecked truck with the cat in it. Will still fetch a decent price if not completely totalled
Roger McG, shooter19802003 and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
You can either use the other truck as a donor or there is a company who makes conversion harness that I can’t think of right now, what motor is the 04 an Nxs? I might also get some ball park quotes on rebuilding the isx
either way I personally wouldn’t give up a non DEF truck until the government forces me toshooter19802003, Speed_Drums and Magoo1968 Thank this. -

Can you even legally swap the engines? Isn't an 04 and 06 two different EPA years and not allowed?
(Or am I wildly off again?) -
majority of them should swap fineSpeed_Drums and ZVar Thank this. -
I thought you just couldn't modify or remove epa equipment from an engine. So if you take out a emissions engine and install a non-emissions engine, you didn't touch the emissions. Because the new engine doesn't have any. Thoughts?
Speed_Drums Thanks this. -
in a 2020 model.
This is not the case anymore, gliders were the only way to do that and seems that that has ended.
I AM a little curious if you slap a brand new engine (2020) in an old say 99 what you can and cant do to it though -
How much downtime are you looking at ?
And what would that cost in lost revenue?
might be better off to find another truck and sell both of yours . , keep the lost revenue downtime to less than a week .
