Just awesome. One of my favorite vehicles. I had a deisel 92 suburban dually with a full 1 ton suspension setup on it. I regret selling it more than you could imagine. Thank you for sharing!

@GuestU2 4 года назад

Awesome job. I have a 1996 Suburban 6.4TD 4x4, I would love this entire conversion.

This paint makes the whole thing look great. These old subs always look awful in stock paint but you guys really pulled off a great overall look!

That 12v is the best sound.

@streetslayinggto410 6 лет назад

I hate people that cheap out and rig the shit out of a build I love everything to almost seem like it should have came from the factory that way and I think you hit the nail of the head and also glad you decided not take the nasty easy way out with a body lift

@gamure 6 лет назад

What a great built!!

Perfect, wouldn't change much of anything.

@hkm_865 7 лет назад

That thing is unreal.

@travisstevens4042 6 лет назад

Love your work! I think I’ve seen all your videos a few dozen times... I was wondering if you could speak to the pros and cons of keeping the 4L80E vs swapping in an NV4500, in terms of cost/benefit, time, difficulty, etc?

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

Will Do

@renzopancorvo 4 года назад

So sick

@jasoncarpp7742 6 лет назад

Fascinating. While I've always loved the Cummins 6BT diesel engine, but I've always questioned the idea of a 5.9 litre inline six engine inside the engine bay of a 6.6 litre V8 engine. You know, will it fit comfortably? Will it work reliably? Since I've never driven either, I've no way of knowing either way.

@austinwilliamson8776 6 лет назад

Mean looking ride

@Dmccraw1998 5 лет назад

that things badass

@rylie593 5 лет назад

How did you reset the odometer or is it a new one?

@immeandyouryou 4 года назад

Very very nice. I've been thinking about throwing a LBZ in my 99' suburban. Would you recommend the Cummins over Duramax or prefer any diesel engine over any other? Great looking truck sir. Love what you did to it.

@ojasdevam5560 4 года назад

I would love more information on the engine ?build? stock? any upgrades...mpg hwy ,city? Thanks

@lukebryant6523 4 года назад

I apologize if it was already mentioned. But if you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost in the swap alone?

@spiritualinsight 3 года назад

What sort of parts would I need to put that engine into a 1998 Mazda b4000? I know some mechanical stuff but I'm no genius and I don't really have experience

@jamesyork6023 4 года назад

I’ve got a ‘97 K2500 that I’d love to rip the 350/4L80E out of for a 12v/NV4500 setup.

@TheBudgetGunCollector 6 лет назад

The ladder is cool but I honestly feel like with my boots Ill break the rear window trying to climb it lol.

@oakridgeboy2023 5 лет назад

I want the wheel tire suspension info awesome

@lambofkhan 6 лет назад

This build screams for a SAS

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

The independent suspension and antilock brakes work very well on these vehicles. Also if you want a solid axle you should just build the older body style.

@mitafoaj 7 лет назад

Very nice.

@masonfoto 6 лет назад

First off love this build it’s amazing! Second I just want to know what the cost could be to just do the full engine and transmission swap in my 99 suburban?

@Tat2dReverend 7 лет назад

I was just complaining to my wife the other day that I didn't want a Duramax Suburban, and wished Dodge would make an SUV with a Cummins. Think this would be a better option than putting a 6BT in my 80 series LC.

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

I have done both swaps, Land Cruisers and Suburbans and starting with a larger 3/4 ton vehicle does make the conversion a little easier.

@Joe_Brown99 6 лет назад

That would be awesome if dodge came out with a new ram charger but without all the newer crap!

@gabinofitnessjeepzjbejaran1164 6 лет назад

My question is. How long of a process and average price. I have a '98 Burban I want to convert.

@montycrain5783 3 года назад

Do you think a Cummins 6bt swap into a 2nd Gen Avalanche is practical ?

@PeterHatch-mx7zc 7 лет назад

nice very nice job

@thebro5540 4 года назад

Is it possible to do this on an 2003 Tahoe??

@bthorn5035 Год назад

Man, that's a good looking rig. I see this video is a little old. I'd like to know what power mods you made and how well it's running.

@georgehanna3434 3 года назад

Where can we get the tow mirrors 🤔

@raulstroiek Год назад

Are you using the stock torque converter?

@nicholasbeach8554 4 года назад

In my opinion it's a really nice truck I got a 1993 but I'm not understanding why the seats are so loss in yours

@SamiKaram--IzzNoGood Год назад

Can this be done to a K1500 suburban?

@germanrojas4945 4 года назад

Badass!!!

@Jonesys 4 года назад

Hey thanks, appreciate that!

@CODcrayon 4 года назад

Hey, I was wondering if you all had to cut the firewall to fit the 12v. I’m trying to decide between a 4bt and a 6bt cause if I have to cut the firewall I rather not get that deep! Thanks for you help!

@Jonesys 4 года назад

No firewall mods are required other than bending the pinch weld around the transmission tunnel.

@matthew8329 Год назад

Update on tuning. etc?

@michaelprice9352 6 лет назад

Can you provide info on what lift kit you used? I have a 1999 K2500 GMC Base Model Suburban and am having a heck of a time finding a IFS lift for it. Appears that only superlift carries them unless there is someone else out there I'm just not finding. Would appreciate your input since you guys trusted it to hold the weight of the 6BT.

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

Tuff Country 16853KN. The wight is supported by the torsion bars which are reused and not included in the lift kit.

@robertjuliana4193 4 года назад

I need this

@oakridgeboy2023 5 лет назад

What kind of lift kit

@sneakysnakepie1 7 лет назад

I have a 98 chevy suburban k2500 with the 6.5 turbo diesel. How much weight did the cummins add and did it effect the steering? Any upgrades on the suspension, steering or drivetrain like the axles/driveshaft/rear end ?

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

The Cummins is not much heavier than the 454 that was removed. I don't know the exact weight difference. All of the bushings and steering linkage was replaced and or rebuilt when the 6" lift was installed. Things can be fined tuned with the front torsion bars if needed.

@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 2 года назад

Fantastic looking build, don't really understand two key things though, leaving the 12v stock when you're just going to go back into it for more power after a couple miles, I can only assume this is a customers vehicle so you guys can charge again 😅 And secondly, why all the LEDs but leave the stock halogens and incandescent lights around in the stock locations when you could've easily swapped everything to LED for better overall visibility instead of having to hit the highs....that's just me though, if I'm putting LEDs in, I'm doing all of them, plus it looks silly running incandescent lights next to LED.

@josephgeotina7333 Год назад

Where in the PNW are you located at?

@tinkeringtimmermans5249 4 года назад

Did you have to modify/beef up the ifs and steering components to handle the 6bt and 37s? Sweet build 👍

@Jonesys 4 года назад

3/4 ton steering components are strong enough. 1/2 ton stuff is not.

@ramonestavillo1379 6 лет назад

What 3 gauges did you put in the pillar pod? Transmission temp., boost,and?

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

EGT

@keishagarcia2441 7 лет назад

Jonesyautoclub, before you sold the Subruno, we're you able to get an idea of miles per gallon?

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

Approx 18mpg but that was before power upgrades

@carltonruth4824 7 лет назад

Also got a cummins swapped suburban although it's a 1991 with a 24v. Definitely much louder in my cab than yours. Just curious if you did anything to quiet the engine noise?

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

The 24v engines are noisier than the 12v. We did however install heavy mass backed carpet form ACC and a bunch of sound deadner from Fat Mat.

@keishagarcia2441 7 лет назад

Another question for you, what is the wheel width and backspacing?

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

20x9 with a 00 offset.

@jrbegay5284 6 месяцев назад

What was the total cost of making Subruno?

@senorlookpacheco7649 5 лет назад

how much did you pay to paint it?

@RobertJohnConrad 5 лет назад

wow!!!!

@Scott717 3 года назад

Do you still have this truck?

@michaelprice9352 6 лет назад

You said you were getting around 18mpg. I'm not a big diesel guy but have been told 4BT swaps are easier in place of standard GM V8's over the 6BT Engines. With this in mind I've been considering a 4BT vs. 6BT swap for my 1999 K2500 Burb or maybe even my 1968 CST 10 Suburban. Having done a lot of work with these can you provide some quick pros and cons to either option?

@brianhaw9398 3 года назад

Deboss garage put a 4bt in a tahoe. He has a youtube channel and is from Ontario, Canada

@manvstaco 6 лет назад

what upgrades will you be throwing at the engine? I love your hard work it makes me want to get my 93 suburban 6bt all decked out. I'm up in Silverdale washington state do you do trades for work as well? I have a military m998 humvee I might be willing to part ways with reply back if you're interested :)

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

Sorry I am not interested in any trades.

@Jonesys 6 лет назад

Vehicle is currently list on eBay buy it now price of $45K. 7 Day auction ends on September 26th 2017

@manvstaco 6 лет назад

did it sell?

@imayhaveadhd 5 лет назад

How long does a conversion like this usually take? With swap+new paint like this?

@Jonesys 5 лет назад

4-6 months.

@flex93312 7 лет назад

So how much did the truck sell for? Just curious to know how much I'll need to have one built.

@Jonesys 7 лет назад

Finished cost depends on a lot of factors. Paint, interior, power levels, lift, wheels and tires as well as other custom details. To give you a general idea prices can range from $20-$50K or more depending.
