*Project Shrapnel* How to install a Cummins 6bt 12 valve diesel into a Chevrolet Suburban - Part 1

Looking for a blueprint to follow for your own diesel conversion? We've got you covered! Today we're kicking off another project build series, and if you liked the Subruno, you're going to love SHRAPNEL.
This is part 1 of our 4-part series in which we meet Joe and his 1999 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban Cummins Diesel Conversion project. We don't take on too many new projects these days since we're a purposefully small shop, but when we learned more about Joe we couldn't say no. Joe is a disabled Army veteran, former police officer, and current small business owner who reached out to us after seeing the Subruno series. He wanted us to build a similar rig, calling it, appropriately, Shrapnel. Joe and his family have an incredible record of service to our country and as a bonus, he's just an all around great guy with an awesome sense of humor and enthusiasm for days.
Joe sourced this vehicle and drove it all the way across the country for us to do the conversion. The Suburban is powered by a Cummins P-pump 12 valve a NV4500 transmission, exhaust brake, custom bumpers and much more.

I'm so glad that suburban went to a good home, some days I do miss it.I had fun building and working on it and had the same vision with the 12v, even bought one to go in it but it went into a new project. I'm sitting here laughing that you got to do the build because I watched all your other videos for ideas to do it myself. Great stuff!

This comes at a perfect time for me. Really close to installing one in my 97 K2500 Silverado.

What's the best Suburban for this swap? We have a tired 6.0 gas 2001 2500 4x4.

1973 all the way to 1999 K20 or K2500. Preferably starting with a vehicle that was originally a diesel.
