Default 97 4.6 reg cab tranny put in an 03 supercab

My dad's transmission went out of his 03 4.6 and he had a 97 4.6 tranny given to him. He and some people put it in and changed some sensors on the tranny to fit the 03 harness. Now it stalls on a hill in drive and he has reverse. What can he do to get it driving right? He's retired and on a tight budget also .

Alot of the internal electronics are completely different. They are not compatible.

Can the internal electronics be swapped?

Depends on the configuration.

Then it's probably safe to say another 03 tranny should replace it. The truck doesn't move at all now.
