Duramax In A 88-99 GM Truck
 

Has anyone on this site installed a Duramax engine into a older GM truck 88-99? I'd like to put one in a 95 K2500.

they fit, that is what GM test muled all the duramax's in, i think they take a 3 inch body lift though.

I wish I had the $ to put one in my 2000(old body style) K2500

one of my friends has been wanting to do this and you have to do a lot to get everything to work and fit if u dont do a body lift then you have to cut the fire wall.

You would have to have a working doner vehicle all the stuff on these trucks "talk" to each other. Its been done in the past, but there isn't a how to out there that I know of.

Like DB said, the hardest part is getting all the computers to interface with the truck and "talk" to each other. Chevrolet's use the Class II databus so all the computers are linked together.

go over to diesel place, there are a few guys there with duramax's swapped into OBS trucks.

THATS CHEAP!!!! you cant beat a deal like that including tranny and t-case.

I read that the 95-99's work better. The gauges will interface from what I recall. There is a decent write up on the The Diesel Page.
