most likely going to need to change the motor in my truck, its an 03 1500 with 4.7, im just curious if other year 4.7s will fit, such as an 05 4.7?

Up to the 05 or early 06's should be R+R. Mid 06 to late 07 will need the computer and wireing harness. Not sure if the 08 to early 09's are exactly the same as the 06 to 07 except for the air intake and the 08-09's are drive by wire. From mid 09 on you may have to change electronics and harness out. If you are gonna do a motor swap go with a Hemi. Cost may be the same to do a swap, just a bit more for the hemi motor.
You need to start by looking to see if you have an EGR valve on the driver side head. I have an 03 4.7 without An EGR and they tell me that only an 4.7 without will work. Also look and see how many plugs you have in to the computer. If you only have three than you have an 16 tooth motor not an 32, so only 02 and below will work. As far as the Hemi swap everything motor and trans wise will need to be swapped hard but fun to do.
