I've got a buddy wanting to put a 12V in his duramax, but I'm wondering about the Chevy IFS being able to hold up the 12V. I'm not sure what year his is if that matters.. What do you guys think?
Dude...it's a 3/4 ton truck. It'll hold... It's not as strong as a solid axle front, but there's many a 2wd Dodge that has held up to a Cummins. Duramax is 860lbs vs Cummins 1000lbs. The extra 140lbs isn't going to kill it.
Clearance issues bad. It will take a lot to put it in there not to mention everything else on the truck is computer controlled and I don't know how well it will like having a different engine in it.
He's wantin to do it because apparently the dmax is dying and hes got a cummins handy. The electrical part would definitely be a huge pain, but itd be doable.
