For that kind of money I would just buy one of these.

1) That Suburban has the Silverado front end?
2) It's a Chevy but the Info page sage GMC on it?
3) It's a 2500. I thought the 4.5L Dmax was for the 1500s?

Interesting... Have you seen this yet?

And that 2010 Suburban is just another wet dream from GM. It was shown at SEMA last year before fuel was $5+. Not that the price of fuel really matters to those who can afford a $70K Suburban, but bean counters don't think that way.

I remember reading about that swap. I wonder what all is different in that truck and say 01. I know gm changes crap every year, Like a 01-02 trailer brake harness is different than a 03-04... found that out by turning on the lights and the brakes came on...
I was thinking the swap would be cheaper. I figured $5k for a dmax, mainley because that what the slavage place in Knoxville told me. I was going to run the 4L80E until it died then just have it built. But the people ive been in contact with are nice, but thats way to much money.
