Re: Duramax conversion update....
The first time you get someone staring with their jaw on the floor because they just heard a turbo spool in a H2 will make all those painful months of waiting well worth it. I for one hope you post a few youtube videos of the truck once its all said and done!

Re: Duramax conversion update....
Okay, here's hopefully the final update except for the one telling ya'll it's shipped.
Travis took the truck to Predator in the first few days of August. They did some work and because Predator does a lot of gov't contracts, the truck got kicked to the curb.
Then the guy was sick, then they had some foreign companies come tour the facility, blah, blah, blah.
At this point, I'm getting pissed. As of the beginning of Sept, it's been 7 months.
Travis got a phone call back from Josh yesterday. Josh says they are back on it and though he can't promise, he will do his best to have the truck completed by the end of next week.
They're going to finish fixing the wiring issues, then they made some suggestions for air intakes and tranny cooling other than what Travis had done.
At this point, Travis is as frustrated as I am and said "fine, make whatever changes you need to"
Though it's been long and frustrating, I'm glad Predator is going through it and making any necc. changes they feel it should have.
Once it goes back, Travis needs to install the hood, seats and wheels and supposedly she's done.
I sure hope so because after last weekend, here's my ride...
I was at VIR all day Thursday and Friday... this happened Saturday.
Fortunately I got my bike on the road after a 2 year long build so at least I have something to drive.

Hopefully things work out for you!!
The estimate was at 23K. I bought the car back for less than 2K, by the time I'll have it back together, I'll have 6-7K in it.
Though I'll have a salvage title, it's still my '09 baby but with a different color. (I'm painting it Porsche GT3 orange)
On steroids, yup, you could say that... that car is putting out 250HP/300FTLB AT THE WHEELS.
