I have an 04 Chevy 2500HD with the 8.1. Thought this would be a decent enough motor, but it sucks. Both in fuel consumption and off the line when loaded. I know this won't be easy, as there are few off the shelf parts. The adapter plate for the Allison 1000 is easy to come by, but the electronics side will be a nightmare I am thinking. Everything is 99 gm an older.
I had a 16 duramax. Great truck, just do want an electronic diesel. Too costly in the long run. yes, I'll have costs here, but once done the engine side should last my lifetime.
And no, I am not going to look for a 5.9 dodge. Hard to find a crew cab and if one does, dodge has that teeny, tiny back seat. I have a family that rides and that's not very comfy. Plus I've blasted the painted the frame on this truck and it's a really nice truck
Anyways, any and all help appreciated
