Hello. I know this has been done and sold already, in 3/4 ton Subs

www.duramaxsuburban.com

But the guy wants 70 or 80 k for one of these things.

Could it be done with a Denali XL, or is the rest of the vehicle just not beefy enough to handle the duramax and allison's output?

I am almost ready to consider being a guinea pig for some local diesel shop to give it a go.......

D

ps Mr. Moderator - if you think this is better off in the Diesel section go for it. Just thought that since the Diesel is turbo....... LOL.

 

frames are diff for sure. you might could do it but i'm sure it would be alot harder than a 3/4 ton burban.

 

Hehe, I can't believe you! Your pockets must not be empty yet from your current setup.

 

I have put that combination in a H2 and it put out about 650hp at the wheels. Anything is possible with the right amount of money.

 

LOL - sooner or later I am gonna get it right.

But if it is going to cost me $450 to drive 1000 km on 8 mpg, then I am wondering how long it might take for the $225 I save if I get 16 mpg to add up to the cost of the transplant......Plus don't even get me started about how you can tune those diesels!

D
p.s. sadly, my motto is: Don't spend less, just make more!!!!!!

 

And the right amount of money is........

 

I will get back to you on that, i will have to put some prices together that is you are really interested. If want to see the hummer go to powerplayperformance.com and go to rides, GM, and its the purple and black hummer. If you want more pics of the engine bay just let me know.

 

Ballpark is fine sir. Don't waste too much time on this the idea has just occurred to me. I mean, is this a 10 g touch? Or a 25 g touch? Or worse?

But I will definitely go to powerplayperformance.com and check out your H2.

Thanks

Well I went and saw the H2. Holy Crap is that nice. But that is so far out of my league it isn't even funny. About 4x what I could slip by the missus, seeing as I have already dumped about 15 k into upgrades for the Denali.

Wish GM would just build the damn Subs and Denalis with this option. I would buy one in a heartbeat!

Thanks for the link man, great work you do there!

The diesel/allison combo would be a great option for the Avalanche, Suburban, Yukon platform. That might just be a good thing for GM to do to get out of the slump. It would be very impressive to see a Denali with that combo.
