Yeah, my '13 Ram 5.7 has the 8 speed, LOVE IT. Which is why I'm still in it...I could've easily had another vehicle 3 years ago
 That said, the new JL and JT have the 8 speed as well, which helps big time. Of course, if I do the Hemi in the JK it'll have the 5 speed...time is coming down to the wire tho, it's not looking like deadlines can be met

Just do it. You could have it back from a shop next week if you write them a nice check for it.

It's not the shop, it's the shipping...at best it'll be here June 28. At worst that next week is July 4th holiday, and I leave July 12th for my trip. Gives my guy no wiggle room, and me no time to do a shakedown.
So, it's not looking good.

 Not that I couldn't, I wouldn't Dude, those 2 doors have ZERO room...I'm struggling just taking it to an out of town baseball tourney this weekend w/ just 3 of us!! Seriously, I really like driving it, it's snappy, comfy...but there is absolutely NO room for people much less bags and a small cooler Meh, I'll run the COBDR trip w/ my Jeep as it's set up. That decision is all but made whether I was contemplating this swap or not. One last resort is reaching out to the supplier to see if I'm able to pick up the kit myself...that's a 20-24 hour round trip, but I'd do it to get it here and give us time to get it done for COBDR. That said, I may also have it shipped and do the swap between CO trips. I get back July 21, leave again Aug 3. So, 2 weeks to tear down and install...that might be an option, and a more needed w/ the power gain I'm looking to have to tow my trailer than it is to run just my RTT. Or go to plan D and just leave it as is and buy a Gladiator

Even an experienced shop with hemi swaps I'd have to imagine 2 weeks is majorly pushing it.

Yeah, I’m still questioning that. He’s an experienced shop...used to be the install guy at Burnsville Off Road, prior to them moving to Dakota Customs.
