A Duramax Suburban has to be one of the best all around vehicles you could own.

[@omarzowila]

I am the type of person that goes crazy over a Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Suburban/Yukon XL with a Duramax

[@dirty_mf_vader1106]

I’m thinking about doing a swap with my 2011 GMC

[@amcervantes]

Sweet rig Tyler. Been following Duramax Specialties for a while now and would love to have one some day. Such a classic clean look.

[@dariocorral]

awesome build! I just bought a 1997 k2500 suburban, gotta do something cool like yours

[@monkies4066]

It's not really the same thing but my dad had a 1995 Ford bronco 4 door with a 7.3l powerstroke Conversion, It was a nice truck and there pretty rare but my dad sold it. You have a nice truck man I'm definitely jealous 🤘😂

It sure is! thank you.

My god that thing is sweet

[@JodyBC1]

nice rig.....

[@ImExcalibastard]

Does the og computer have an adaptive formula for estimating the fuel econ range? Or does it require a reprogram from the conversion company? Also that gear selector does not look like its stock with the gear selector button on it. What an awesome rig thank you for sharing this with us!

[@marcell5055]

Nice!

[@TJLong1121]

Thanks!

[@jewllake]

Very nice truck! I wonder if they do this for the short wheel base Yukon/Tahoes??? I have a mint 2006 SLT Yukon 4x4. I've owned it since I bought it slightly used in 2008. It has 4.10 gears and a 5.3 that has been dyno tuned. In CA at sea level it is respectably quick. When I drove through 1-70 and the Eisenhower tunnel, I felt like I was driving a 3 cyl Yugo lol.

[@TJLong1121]

they won’t do the short wheelbase. I think duraburb will.

[@sergeantscumbag2116]

looking to do the same swap to my burb 5.3 is a sweet heart just zero balls lol

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

It has balls in a midsized Envoy with 4.10 gears and a few performance goodies. It's an LS afterall!

[@iandowell8272]

Beautiful truck! What size tires do you have on it?

[@TJLong1121]

285/70R17

[@ericsanders9365]

I have an lbz swaped 2500 suburban and am only able to get 11.5 mpg. How do they get it to do 18.8? Wish I could get that much. I only get 450 to 38 gallons of fuel.

[@tonylarosa1415]

Make sure your mass air flow sensor is clean along with the fuel injection system. Try to get your injector balance read and make sure none of the injectors are +or- 4.0. If they are you'll need to replace them. 11.8 is horrible for a duramax and should be 15 or better easily. Good luck

[@Doubledteam1]

something is wrong there, my lbz swapped avalanche 2500 gets 20 highway and 13.5 aggressive city with stock tune. stock you should be getting more what im getting and much better tuned

[@moejr14]

Hey guys where the can I find one of these?

[@theOGRAV4]

Let me know if you decide to sell it! 😁

Next time you want to do a video let me know. I'll help you with editing to make it easier...

[@TJLong1121]

Thank you!

[@thomaskraemer6583]

So what was the overall price? Do you have 3.73 gears or 4.10?

[@TJLong1121]

3.73s. rear end out of the truck donor.

[@AVMAR]

How are these insured ? How are they valued by the insurance company incase of a total loss?

[@TJLong1121]

agreed value policy’s.

[@moejr14]

Hey man. I’m looking to get my hands on one of these. Where should I start to look? I am in no way shape or form can do this myself but I absolutely have to have one before my life is over.

[@TJLong1121]

watch marketplace and Craigslist. otherwise Duramax specialties or duraburb can build one.

[@moejr14]

[@TJLong1121]

@@moejr14 they would. I don’t know what his current pricing is at. You’d have to give Nick a text or call at [phone]. That or Eric at Duraburb at [phone]. I know a guy with one for sale in Texas as well but it’s a LLY motor.

@@TJLong1121 yeah I want an LBZ exactly like the video. Do you have a guesstimate of what they would charge to convert mine?

Where did you get that steering wheel?

Buick Rainer. Escalade Platinum ones look great as well.

[@Oscarmartinez-pl1mp]

How much was this custom built ?

[@picklerick_404]

I didn’t know they used LBZ engines for 05

[@TJLong1121]

The motor is out of a 2006 GMC Sierra with the LBZ and put into the 05 Suburban. The 03-06 Suburbans speak same technology.

[@picklerick_404]

@@TJLong1121 I’m guessing the 00-02 suburbans share technology? Roundbody vs Cateye?

[@rebeccagutierrez8413]

how much weigth you can tow? and how much horsepower and torque does the suburban have?

[@TJLong1121]

12-14k In stock form 360hp - 650 torque With the tune 400hp - 750 torque ish

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

He's being 'modest' with the tuned #s. If you're only getting 400hp and 750 lb.Ft. From a 'tune', especially from an LBZ, something is terribly wrong! I had a 2002 Crew Cab 2500 LB7 (less power) with an EFI tune and a few bolt-on performance parts that made around 500hp and over 950lb.ft of twist. It was enough to beat a Lamborghini Gallardo and my modded Corvette off the line, drift at 70mph, and even make the mighty Allison go into Limp-mode at times. Only 40 extra horses, right! 😂
