why didnt you swap in the 06+ column shifter mount?

good eye Paul, pic taken before I realized they where diffenent in 06, changed up already, makes it easier to shift

and makes it so the shifter isnt hitting your knee when you manually shift to "1". ;)

I thought just the actual shifter locater was different until the shifter hit my knee, LOL. Thought it was paul, sorry ben

rockinjoh call me at 805 801 6575 if your interested.

Dude, Very sweet!! I think you have the first ever. I have to say that is slick. Very OEM.

Buyer left with me for a couple weeks after christmas and flew in from New York, he and his buddie stopped in Vegas and made a vacation out of it. Got the call yesterday NO ISSUES ran perfectly and got 17-20 Mpg. Kid loves it, said tripped out people at the stations pumping diesel into her. Going to build him a regular cab short bed 4x4 LBZ for a snow plow. Let the fun begin

Yea it really makes you feel good when you can turn out a quality product that others genuinely appreciate, I got some funny looks a truck stop with the Duramax ESV, NOTE TO SELF: Dont use high volume pump, tank fills to quickly. Fortunately I was out of the line of fire when it barfed.

That must have been priceless to see! :D

You know I should have had someone take my picture when I was there, we all have a camara in our phones I wish I would think of stuff like that.

I knew it would be a matter of time before someone put a Duramax into an Avalanche. Nice job on the swap.

This is one sweet truck. This is exactly what I'd like to do with my 2002 avalanche.

I will give you guys a call.

How's that 05 sub 2500 coming? Can you put 11.5 rearend in it. Very impressed with TDI's stuff, but you are right up the coast from me and your recent Avy build was impressive. Need (want) LBZ sub.

On ebay as we speak, 3 days left the ebay number is 180465279980

Thanks! Is it LB7 or LLY? I am really wanting an LBZ w/ 6-speed, but I will watch auction, for the right price it might be a good start.
If I like a duramax sub as much as I think I will, then you or TDI can build me an LBZ and I will just sell this one. How hard to register in CA?

The pics on ebay of the engine compartment show an LLY as far as I can tell.

LLY out of an 04 with 77k miles (donor truck was clean), I purchased a 04 maroon K2500 sub yesterday, hard load no nav, leather, sun, DVD, captains etc. Have an LBZ if thats what you want in it. Call me if this interests you Travis @ CSK 805 801 6575

Just my fuggin luck I missed this. I would have snapped that thing up in a heatbeat.
Avi with a Duramax...my dream truck.

We talked on the phone a few weeks ago, thanks for all the info. More questions: Will the maroon sub be a salvage title? How many miles does the LBZ drive train have on it? Any idea when it will be done?
I found a white 2004 2500 4x4 w/ 6.0, trying to see it this weekend. It has autoride. Does autoride add to the cost of duramax conversion? Do not need autoride to work after conversion, just curious if it causes more problems (therefore more $) during the conversion.
