I heard of a company in Canada that installs the duramax in the new bs tahoe & Yukons, it costs around $20k but well worth it. I heard very easily will exceed what the gas motor will do and comes with the allison transmission. all brand new parts too

6.0 = LQ9 gas engine, not the duramax. Thats another thread.

You don't tow anything so why do you need a diesel? Turbo'd 408 will walk all over the dmax.

You've been hiding out man. How's the bug coming along?
The motor arrived yesterday and the cam comes in today.

Yep. He has a thread about it somewhere on here.
Projects with no motors are the best ones. You get to build and drop in whatever you want, well, whatever your budget allows for anyway. I can think of all kinds of crap I want that I don't have the loot for:)

And so it begins...
My Lingenfelter/Comp Cams bumpstick and springs just arrived. I'll be throwing the cam in tomorrow once I get off work and swapping over the accessories to the new motor.
I haven't had time to pull the old 5.3 out yet, so I'll be doing that tomorrow as well and try to have the 6.0 up and running by Sun evening if all goes well. If not, at least no later than Monday.
