Try grounding the starter motor relay that should be in the fuse box. This will enable to starter to activate. (even with the engine running, though)

If the starter has ground and 12v when you trigger the relay, either the starter wire isn't hooked up or your starter is toast. PCM won't be aware that its cranking but the engine will still turn over.

Dealer probably doesn't want the liability.

Did you jump the relay? Engine won't turn over if the starter isn't getting power...work backwards with this one.

i have not touched his truck only been around when his so called master tech did the swap and rigged the starter due to beening an 03 ram with 05 parts and was told something about the hemi starter not fitting due to extra coneters which i have no clue only know that they had to rigg it and now the tech and dealer dont know which starter to use lol
