Hello.

[Ray Bouchard]

I found this site after starting research to install a newer Duramax in my,
91 GMC 2500 8600 GVW, had the truck 20 yrs.
Right now it's just running a 5.7 small block with 240.000 k mi and a 4l80e.
If anyone has any information on such a swap I'd be grateful.
New to diesel but not mechanic's, especially electrics, so I could still be of some asset to this site hopefully.
Thanks for reading my first thread
Ray. B

Welcome Ray. No dmv/ or smog problems swapping gas to diesel in Cal?

Welcome to TTS. Also consider a P400. Its a brand spanking new drop in except for oil pan and is leaps & bounds stronger than a GM casting.
Here's is a link to my site http://leroydiesel.com/products/p400-6-5-long-block/
and my you tube channel where I have a lot of vids on my P400 build. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwHdiVqPGSiCiMINvxiM07A

Welcome aboard!
Do you already have the Dmax motor? Thanks to the CA smog, I searched for and found our '94 diesel Burb. It's been a great experience, thanks to this sit and the wonderful folks here, both those that have helped and gone and those that are here now.
