The weather became much nicer. It's a -14 now. After -32 it's like a lite breeze against a storm. rusdeg.gif

Starting to shop for a Patrol with a Duramax to see what's out there not many around at the moment which I hope is a good thing , instead of a conversion in our GU might just buy one already done .
Anyone have any info on Vic American imports or am I on my own with this one .

Its a tough subject. A conversion if done correctly should be 50k plus to do it right. I have driven duramax powered patrols and it is cool but that allison trans behind it is so good. I have seen a 40k conversion that was woeful unfinished really. Pipes not secure, wiring was crap and just splayed everywhere. If you do buy one already done go through with a fine tooth comb or get someone to have a real hard look for you.
I honestly would just spend the money and get a duramax in a factory fitment yank tank

Thanks mate , I have read a bit about them and just love the idea of keeping the Patrol but will need to tow a big heavy van and don't want to pay $60 odd grand for a wheezing four potter , I can go to $68k then sell the GU for $12ish k plus the GQ should get similar price being the rare factory auto .
We've finally decided to flip the rental and get the van and tug but best part is the missus is letting me get the Duramax , will have to keep Tug below $70k and not a fan of the big yank tanks just their motors .
Will stick with a certified job but just doesn't seem to be many doing the conversion .
City lowest point +681 m, highest somewhere around +1000 m. My country placed in the center of the continent and there are no any seas which can do our climate a little bit softer.
