Duramax diesel conversion... DONE... PICS.

[OrangeCrush]

Well, against what other members have said about how long it should take to convert an H2, I'm here to tell you mine is still not done.

The conversion is all done except the electrical. My guy's electrician is trying to wire it up so it's using the duramax computer for the 4WD selection but after working on it for a month, apparently it ain't going to well....

So, now almost 3 months later, my truck is back from the electrician's dealership and back at the guy who is doing the conversion.

From my understanding, it's much like when I dropped an LT-1 into a late model S-10. I struggled with the wiring and used both the LT-1 and S-10 4.3 computer together so the truck didn't loose any SRS or ABS abilities. Though I got it done, it was a wiring nightmare much like a rat's nest.

I finally paid a guy to wire it up with one ECM to be clean and neat. Point is, I think this is what they're going through...

Anyways, just giving an update, sure would like to get my truck back.

Mark,

I do hope you get your truck back soon. Waiting for 3 months would be killer for me.

I guess you don't mind waiting because you don't want him to rush in making some kind of mistake.

What would happen if something did happen when you get your truck back?
Is there any kind of warranty for the conversion?


Cheers.

Yeah, I'm getting kind of antsy... it was suppose to only take 2-3 weeks. The guy took his time and is doing it right and I'm fine with that. (it gives me time to finish my custom softail which after almost 2 years will be done in the next couple of weeks)

However, it's about time and I'm ready....

As far as warranty, I'm sure if there's a problem, he'll be happy to take care of it but being 3K miles away, I'm sure I'll end up taking care of it myself.

Hope to get it back soon.


Thanks,

Mark

Big project, I hope it all works out for you. Whenever I hear of issues and problems with my stuff I get real nervouse. At least hes being honest with you and informing you of the issues at hand. Hopefully it will be all that you hoped for!

Got off the phone with Travis today. He talked to a buddy of his that does conversions on the right coast. He gave him some advice, Travis pulled the harness completely out, gutted it and ran the wires where they needed to be.

He was completely confident that he'll be able to finish this within a week or so.

Like I said, I don't care, I want my truck back but I have full confidence in Travis but I want it back done CORRECTLY...

So, hopefully he'll be done in the next week or so and I can start getting ready to ship it back.
