Really why would you want this heavily modified SUV. It obviously was used as a SSV for many years. The mid seats are permanently mounted in ez access position for agents to dismount.

Easier to just buy a used 2500 and put a whipple in it.

That's pretty slick. I'm sure its pricey. Wonder what the asking price is?
Also curious what else was done to it, any kind of armor plating to the body, undercarriage or glass?

Random question: What transmission was used in HD Burbs?

The 6L90 and I am sure it was upgraded since BAE did the work.

Thanks, appreciate the info. I think the 4l80 was only available in 07.

That would be a fun family hauler, especially with all the seats facing every other direction haha.

You are correct, 2007 2500's had 4 speed trans. The 6 speed is a HUGE improvment. I had an Avalnche 2500 w/ 8.1 and 4 speed and towing a 11k CAT was a real issue.

Really, was it a dog? How'd you like the 8.1?
Was your Avalanche a daily?
I really like the 6.0/4l80 combo, same as my old HD pickup. Don't do much if any towing but future work I will be towing smaller loads.
