Will 5.9 liter engine from 2002 Dodge Durango fit 2000 Durango?

It's unlikely a 5.9L engine from a 2002 Dodge Durango will be a direct bolt-in replacement for a 2000 Dodge Durango. While both are Durangos and use similar platforms, there are likely to be differences in engine mounts, wiring harnesses, and potentially even the transmission interface.

You'd need to do a significant amount of research to determine compatibility, comparing part numbers and specifications. Even if the engine block itself seems similar, the ancillary components (like the alternator, power steering pump, etc.) might not be interchangeable.

In short: Don't assume compatibility. Thorough research and/or consultation with a mechanic experienced with these vehicles is highly recommended before attempting such a swap. It's a much more involved project than simply swapping engines.
