I assume it's for more torque, right? I found this setup on ebay...Not sure what you could sell your truck for but it may offer an alternative..

PS.. I'm in no way affiliated to the seller.. I'm actually curious about the vehicle for sale as well.

The power is great on supercharger and now that I added 4.56's, it's even better. Having said that, have you ever towed with a diesel? It puts the H2 to shame.... not even close.

And that's on a stock LBZ that puts out 620 ft.lbs of torque. With the transmission I've had built (allisions don't like anything in the 700-750 ft.lb)and a tuner, I can add another 240 ft. lbs of torque at the flip of a switch and get 2.5 times the gas mileage I'm getting now.

So no, the supercharger simply didn't do it for me. The power, gas mileage and towing ability on my H2 SUCK.... but they won't for looong.





I'm kinda confused about that one. Why is the VIN# on the frame and drivetrain different than the one on the body?

When Mash Motors does a conversion, they still use the H2 frames and change the drivetrain.

Did I miss something?

Anyway, Mash Motors does and excellent job but I want mine done because it's an '06 SUT.

A lot of the conversions I see are on 2003's and 2004's. I think I've only seen (1) 2005 for sale.

Not saying there's anything wrong with it, I just want my own truck done and my frame and body vin # match.
