Duramax engine conversion

[Bensmooth10]

So what did overall cost end up being?

[PattyWgnOwen]

Heath quoted me $46 drive in drive out. Killa quoted $44k drive in drive out. Brunswick diesels are now doing p400 cobra military spec HO engines and when you add brand new 4l80e and so on is also about $45k but with all brand new gear. Brunswick have ADR for up to 2010 on full mechanical non common rails which is interesting?

I also hear that Bullet in WA at least, are doing the Duramax conversions also. All about the same price give or take a couple of grand.
In summing up my experience: I have had a large amount of problems and very little support from PID. Every problem I encounter I am told this is usual , eg oil leaks, tricky electrics, whines etc etc etc. I have had to get these items fixed myself. Can't help but feel I am being treated like an idiot.
Enough gripe, the car has stacks of power and once the bugs are polished out it is a toss up between a new twin turbo Landy, 2nd hand 4.4 Rangie and the Duramax. ??????

Who is PID.? Sorry for my ignorance!

Bullet in brisbane do Duramax but would prefer to do p400 with supercharger for about same price. They only do remanufactured Duramax not second hand so it's more expensive.

It's a pain when the companies tell you one thing, to get your business, then string you along giving all manner of excuses or as you said, they try to make you fell like an idiot... We pay a hell of a lot of money to get mucked around.... Maybe time to use the power of the forum... Hope your wagon is going great now...
