Just awesome. One of my favorite vehicles. I had a deisel 92 suburban dually with a full 1 ton suspension setup on it. I regret selling it more than you could imagine. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome job. I have a 1996 Suburban 6.4TD 4x4, I would love this entire conversion.

I have a 2004 excursion I would love to convert to a Cummins, live the work you do!!

This paint makes the whole thing look great. These old subs always look awful in stock paint but you guys really pulled off a great overall look!

One of the best garage builds I have ever seen

Beautiful Build!!! What lift kit did you use? Thanks!

Fascinating. While I've always loved the Cummins 6BT diesel engine, but I've always questioned the idea of a 5.9 litre inline six engine inside the engine bay of a 6.6 litre V8 engine. You know, will it fit comfortably? Will it work reliably? Since I've never driven either, I've no way of knowing either way.

The center light bar is tied in with the high beams, boy I'd be pissing a lot of people off lmao

Pure Badass.!!

The independent suspension and antilock brakes work very well on these vehicles. Also if you want a solid axle you should just build the older body style.

Soooooo. How do we discuss doing almost an identical project for my burban. 1997 GMC burban?!

Man, that's a good looking rig. I see this video is a little old. I'd like to know what power mods you made and how well it's running.

I would love more information on the engine ?build? stock? any upgrades...mpg hwy ,city? Thanks

I apologize if it was already mentioned. But if you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost in the swap alone?

The ladder is cool but I honestly feel like with my boots Ill break the rear window trying to climb it lol.

nice very nice job

i know it's a defender series roof rack. but what model number. looks like the perfect size.

How did you reset the odometer or is it a new one?

Did you have to modify/beef up the ifs and steering components to handle the 6bt and 37s? Sweet build 👍

In my opinion it's a really nice truck I got a 1993 but I'm not understanding why the seats are so loss in yours

Also got a cummins swapped suburban although it's a 1991 with a 24v. Definitely much louder in my cab than yours. Just curious if you did anything to quiet the engine noise?

The 24v engines are noisier than the 12v. We did however install heavy mass backed carpet form ACC and a bunch of sound deadner from Fat Mat.

Fantastic looking build, don't really understand two key things though, leaving the 12v stock when you're just going to go back into it for more power after a couple miles, I can only assume this is a customers vehicle so you guys can charge again 😅 And secondly, why all the LEDs but leave the stock halogens and incandescent lights around in the stock locations when you could've easily swapped everything to LED for better overall visibility instead of having to hit the highs....that's just me though, if I'm putting LEDs in, I'm doing all of them, plus it looks silly running incandescent lights next to LED.

I’ve got a ‘97 K2500 that I’d love to rip the 350/4L80E out of for a 12v/NV4500 setup.

I have a 98 chevy suburban k2500 with the 6.5 turbo diesel. How much weight did the cummins add and did it effect the steering? Any upgrades on the suspension, steering or drivetrain like the axles/driveshaft/rear end ?

@Jonesys

7 жыл бұрын

The Cummins is not much heavier than the 454 that was removed. I don't know the exact weight difference. All of the bushings and steering linkage was replaced and or rebuilt when the 6" lift was installed. Things can be fined tuned with the front torsion bars if needed.

Can you provide info on what lift kit you used? I have a 1999 K2500 GMC Base Model Suburban and am having a heck of a time finding a IFS lift for it. Appears that only superlift carries them unless there is someone else out there I'm just not finding. Would appreciate your input since you guys trusted it to hold the weight of the 6BT.

@Jonesys

Tuff Country 16853KN. The wight is supported by the torsion bars which are reused and not included in the lift kit.

Hey, I was wondering if you all had to cut the firewall to fit the 12v. I’m trying to decide between a 4bt and a 6bt cause if I have to cut the firewall I rather not get that deep! Thanks for you help!

@Jonesys

5 жыл бұрын

No firewall mods are required other than bending the pinch weld around the transmission tunnel.

You said you were getting around 18mpg. I'm not a big diesel guy but have been told 4BT swaps are easier in place of standard GM V8's over the 6BT Engines. With this in mind I've been considering a 4BT vs. 6BT swap for my 1999 K2500 Burb or maybe even my 1968 CST 10 Suburban. Having done a lot of work with these can you provide some quick pros and cons to either option?

And how did the grille provide the needed room to accomodate the Cummins Diesel? I would think that because of the length of the inline six engine, you'd somehow need to get a larger engine compartment, or a longer front.

@Jonesys

It has to do with the marker light and turn signal location on the work truck grill vs regular GMC suburban grill

Do you think a Cummins 6bt swap into a 2nd Gen Avalanche is practical ?

Finished cost depends on a lot of factors. Paint, interior, power levels, lift, wheels and tires as well as other custom details. To give you a general idea prices can range from $20-$50K or more depending.
