Estimate of cost to put duramax and Allison in Denali XL?
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.......

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.

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

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

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!

HUMMER
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.
