Looking For Ideas.. I replaced the 6.5 engine approx 4 years ago, and now it looks like I need to do it again. After a stoke last year, I am not in a position to do a conversion, and would rather sell it than have the 6.5 again. Any Ideas?
Thanks for your input,
Ryan

 

Year and model you want to sell? Where is it located? price?

 

It would be a good one for some one looking for an H1 who want to put a duramax or cummins in and can get the vehicle for less that way

 

It is a 96 open top, located in Lubbock, Texas. I was hoping to get a 25k. I'm trying to be realistic, but figured anything less would make it worth replacing the engine. 3hummers, was trying to pm you, but apparently I don't have permissions, or can't figure it out.
I have it posted on auto trader. I can post a link to it but wanted to make sure it wasn't a forum violation to do so.

 

Don't think 25K without a motor is going to happen. Retail for a new 6.5 TD installed is about 15K. You can do a reman or take out for half that or maybe less but it is a project. Duramax conversions start at about 30K and go up to 50K. Cummins swaps start about 20K. Retail for a 96 OT in really good condition is mid 30's to maybe high 30's if you find the right buyer. I think you may be looking at putting in a take out motor as the least expensive way to get the truck on the market for a reasonable price. I know a few people looking for trucks without a good motor for Duramax conversions but they aren't looking to pay more than about 15K.

 

Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but figured you would be in the know. Thanks for the test PM, I received it, but only have the option to delete it. One day I will figure it out.

 

ryno,

I just joined the forum because I'm looking to buy an H1. I am interested in buying yours and doing the engine replacement myself. Can we talk off-line

 

Here is a link to the add, it has my contact info.

Ryno, I would be interested in purchasing. I am looking to do a Duramax conversion on an H1 open top. Can I get you to send me some particulars and pictures?
