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?

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.
