I have a 1990 3+3 2wd, th400, 1 ton dually with a 454 that is shot, but the truck is in great condition.,,
I also have a 1986 4wd Suburban with a 6.2 liter diesel ( not sure of tranny model, but is automatic also) with a bad rear end and body not in that good of shape..
I would like to swap the 6.2 into the 1990 1 ton dually. I am not concerned with getting as much power as I did with the 454, but would sacrifice that for better fuel mileage.
I have read that it is mostly a direct swap except for a few modifications I will have to make such as fuel filler neck, fuel pump,etc.
I am on a tight budget but have plenty of time this winter and both vehicles complete.
The 1 ton has the hydraulic brake boost and large radiator.
I am wondering if this is a good swap and what problems I might run into
converting from gas to diesel??
Just looking for some feedback and some other converted vehicles and thier problems before I attempt this conversion, any replies would be appreciated..
thanks
