That and worse was exactly what I experienced Phil. In fairness the Mitsubishi alternator on mine was in for a few years with me and unsure of for how long before.
Very happy so far with your kindly advised GQ 170amp Ebay weapon. I foolishly drained my Aux Optima down to 10.5V with an electric blanket in the mountains recently and without proper documented tests seemed to be back up within an hour or two after departure next morning.

Will probably make a call within a week or 2.
If this goes ahead, you all know what this means right?
cheers
Why has a duramax been ruled out? Have you looked at the allison transmission?

SWIMBO may have set the coin limit @ a 6.5 @poindexter :-) ? Ralph did have some serious knowledge on his preferred auto Matty, all well and truly over my manual stock gearbox head :-) !

Obviously hence the question I asked which you didnt answer.
Was it a cost vs benefit, parts sourcing or something like that? Or purely a simplicity thing using something you know in the 6l90 with a basic engine?

Yes I would imagine so. He has some info on the other forum in regards to the transmission he has chosen. I think it was to be mounted to a different engine though.

coin was not the limiting factor with this swap, my years working at GM Powertrain has given me the knowledge to make an informed decision which I have made, that is all.....

Well thanks for the informative responses.
Did you ever get the zd30/6l90 conversion finished? If so what are your thoughts.

finished as in driving the truck, no.
got all the parts made and booked the truck in for the work to be done, but then changed my mind regarding the engine at the last minute.
went to MB's donk party to see other 6.5s just to see the way the engine fits.
been following Rainsey's thread, and the thought of spending coin on the zd30 and still not getting acceptable performance was a consideration.
