Re: Duramax/Allison conversion
I'm estimating based on using all new parts as the guy quoted on this conversion job keeping factory gas motor. Why not go to 6 speed manual tranny short throw shifter with manual 2W and 4W drive selection on transfer case. They said $6700.00 on all new parts and said that interior looked like the manual setup was made in the rig factory. They said it doubled the MPG by being able to run in 2WD most of the time. In H2 now it would mean around 22 to 26 MPG. I'm guessing because they decribed very little fab work so $10,000 tops but, cost could be reduced with equip. used and labor being more like $2000. I did not check on labor but, you would have the factory transfer case and tranny to sell or they give break on labor to keep the replaced stuff themselves. This would be like $7000 for change out.
Just another angle.
