From their website.

Yea way too much lol. $42k for a complete install. The engine and tranny imported probably cost 3-4k

 

Yea but will it roll coal from a 16" exhaust tip?

 

If money were no object...I'd do it.

 

Not sure but it would have diesel owners drop there jaws.

Right me too. But ill wait in a couple of years for it

 

You might be waiting a lot longer than that!

 

Yep...If I need a diesel I'll just borrow yours! Hahahahahahaha

 

Is this thing even EPA-compliant?

 

It fits in the engine bay nicely though.

 

IF conversation, THEN to electric. Diesel is almost over, here in Europe the days are counted where diesel is allowed due to stupid politicians.

 

$40,000!!!!! I don't think Dura-burb even charges that much, and IMO you are getting a lot more truck for your money. Dura-burb is a company that converts your Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL/Denali/Escalade over to the latest Duramax diesel/allison automatic out of a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup truck. Yeah you can get them with a warranty and a hopped up 600hp tune lol.

 

I wish!!!

 

X2!!!!!

 

Electric has a lot of hurdles to overcome, especially as it pertains to reliability, energy storage and recharge. We are a long ways off from having pure EV trucks and 4x4's, where reliability and driving range under load are very important.

Internal combustion engines (including diesels), on the other hand, are just getting started: opposed piston designs, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), Pre-mixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) are just a few designs (some of which aren't all that new) that promise greater horsepower delivery along with much better efficiency.

Diesel will continue to benefit from these newer designs, and when coupled with a hybrid EV motor, will offer very good efficiency and low pollution.

The Europeans are saying they'll ditch diesel because many of their cities are smogged up; they incentivized diesel vehicles but were slow to adopt emissions regulations....they dug their own grave on that issue. The newer diesels are much cleaner and still much more efficient than are gasoline engines. They're not going away anytime soon, at least for trucks, SUV's and offroad vehicles/equipment.

 

Yes I have this truck
Do not do any conversion on your truck until you talk to me
Send me an email and I will give you my phone # to talk to me
My email is c21rlty@gmail.com

 

Almost 10 years later : how good or how bad have been the engine swap and experience with diesel toys ?

 

Not a great experience as I have parked the truck and working on it as the company that did the conversion did not stand behind their word it is a nightmare but I am working on it and probably will be able to finish the work on it and hopefully enjoy.
Do not convert your truck that is my opinion after a worst experience I have had.
Hopefully it will be running good as it took me years to figure out the problem after visiting many technicians.

 

??????? Care to elaborate?

 

Shame

 

Can you share a couple of the truck photos with us?

 

That is $2k more than I paid for my brand new 2018 Tundra. No thanks.

This is too bad. I have a 2010 RCSB and 2 diesel Land Cruisers. This particular V8 diesel had its issues from early on.
I'm sad Toyota didn't elevate the damn near bullet-proof 1HDT-FTE.
Without even the ability to convert gassers to decent turbo's instead of SC's it was a clear message from Toyota
they didn't want people inside their computers. Sad for the aftermarket world.

 

See if you can find a 1987-1994 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 24v is better than 12v

 

That engine is too deep from intake to bottom of oil pan to fit. Those things are huge. Weight notwithstanding.
As cool as a conversion might seem to be,
