What's involved? I know this can't be as simple as just swapping transmissions. Do you need a new computer too?

New TCM,driveshafts,t-case/tranny crossmember,flex plate,and possibly more.The TCM issue will be the greatest issue to overcome.

I would just get both computers. Both the engine and tranny. There for awhile they had the 42rle on two computers like the 45rfe so its hard to tell whats what.

Just get a CRD. It already has a 545rfe if I'm not mistaken.

The 545RFE is just a 45RFE with some different internals to give a 2nd overdrive.Oh and they still make plenty of 545RFE's,and CRD's,though you can't get a CRD in the states anymore.

You can get them secondhand out of Hemi dodge trucks, too, no? (like dakotas or 1/2 ton RAMs or something)
