No I haven't seen it but the going rate for the Duramax conversion is 25-30K. 50K is pretty steep.

going labor price on a H1 is 15K this does not include any parts. The 50k is for a plug and play package ready to drop in the truck. The price goes up do to all the parts that are normally altered in house,now have to be purchased then altered.(custom frame perches, intercooler tubes,A/C lines,custom tranny cross member ect.)I have worked with and been trained by the originater of this project for over 5 yrs and have done several H1s these builds are not easy, and also do some researce on who ever you decide to go with because I have heard and seen in person some pretty hacked vechicles

half shafts cant be done without doing the hubs,and this is a upgrade, the stock half shafts can hold up to 500HP. The lift is a must, we can get away a 1 1/2" lift in most cases and that would be in the parts pack,as well as the tranny

you can replace the upper gear in the hubs to use the 12k half shafts... alot of people are doing that but I think im going to go with new hubs when i do mine.

Magnum I am looking at a project truck. Not sure about it yet but it is a 93 4 door hardtop. What did you say you could do a Duramax conversation for?

Depending on what motor you what(LLY,LBZ,LMM)this will vary the price a little but 35K to37K range and also have a option to drop that by going with a motor trans combo with 3Kto10K on it I have done that before and have a very good connection on great quality semi-used packages

What's the difference between the above Duramax conversion and the US$ 48k conversion you quoted me?
"Here is a list of components that go in to the conversion: Duramax engine LLY, LBZ or the 2008 LMM model Custom motor perches with new factory motor mounts Allison 1000 series transmission (will hold up to 500HP without being built) also available in a six speed Custom engine and transmission wire harnesses 2 wheel drive 4 wheel drive selectable transfercase Modified transmission mount Custom high pressure transmission and fuel lines Front and rear custom drive shafts Fuel sending unit Factory A/C condenser with custom lines Custom Intercooler Custom computer program (by PPE) Custom stainless 4" exhaust Custom programmed ECM,TCM,BCM and 4wd module With the basic conversion you will get mileage around 25 to 30 MPG. Attached is some pic's of a vehicle we are working on right now. There are many upgrades available to reach 30 plus MPG (propane assist, Biodiesel, water methanol injection) our price for the base conversion on the H1 is 48,000 This would include all componets and labor.Thanks for your time and I look foward to hearing from you."

The package was quoted for you with the LMM model motor, Six speed trans. with tap up tap down feature this is the newest technology available.there is also a very limited supply of that 2008 combo available on a month to month base and prices do flexuate. Unfortunatly The the price details and options on those builds had not been discused. If the LLY motor with the five speed trans was the chosen power plant, the conversion would have come down in price.Every build is diffrent and is taylored to meet the owners needs, I'm sorry we did not get the chance to talk more and understand all options available.I will honor the 35-37 on the LLY,LBZ,and the LB7 with the five speed trans.thses packages also vary in price 2-3 thousand bucks from time to time, that parts list you recieved is a over view and is applyable to the H1 or H2,sorry for any miscommunication I would have liked to work with you on those trucks.

Thank you Mike for your reply.
Yes, I do want to install the LBZ engines (360HP, 881Nm) with the Allison transmissions, 5 speed or 6 speed, doesn't really make a difference to me. I was under the impression your email was self explanatory. It said "LLY, LLZ or 2008 LLM model" with no differentiation in pricing........it also said 5 or 6 speed and that the base conversion would cost US$48k which means it can only go higher.
I assume that the US$37k conversion is using new LLZ engines and transmissions, not low mileage used engines. My three H1 trucks are still in Egypt and will ship soon to the US. I will implement the Duramax conversion on all three H1's.
Could you please provide me with a detailed breakdown of what the US$37k Duramax conversion includes using a LBZ engine.
Thank you and kind regards,
Tarek
