Hummer H2 Dmax engine swap?
- Thread starter J_Stone06
- Start date
From my understanding it's literally a 3/4 ton GM front end under it. I'm sure it can be done, just not sure how big of a pain it would be. I just personally think it would be super bad@ss.

Thank you! Where abouts in KS are you located?

I know it has been done I have even seen "kits" for this, I think it is much easier than the Humvee H1 (military) that I am doing now
Do you have a build thread for this ??? If not, why??? I am going to take liberty in speaking for everyone and say we want to see!!!
Wichita, i told those guys we would like them to share their info. They have been doing this for a very long time and guess he's board with it. It's his lively hood; old news to them?
I've heard it's pretty easy, just go model year for model year on swap and it should be pretty straight forward mechanically. No diffrent than any LS swap really, for what your spending a supercharger and a few supporting mods would put you in the same power level for way less money unless you have the time and swap parts already. 6.0 with boost is a animal and h2 have 4l80 with AAM rear so they can take the power.
I'm about an hour and a half North of you. I think it is just cool transplanting the duramax. I dunno about the price tag they want for one of their kits though. 30k seems a little steep to me.

Honestly man, I just love the idea of having a built duramax engine in one. I know I'm probably dreaming, but I think it would be badass. I know doing bolt-on stuff for a 5.3, 6.0, or 6.2 engines would be much cheaper overall. I told my wife once I fix the front end issues I'm having, I need to be satisfied with my truck and stop pushing my luck. I just like to tinker a little too much I guess.

We'll have to catch up at some point
The only thing i can say is, the turn key option for some is worth every penny.
After speaking with his last customer (and he was a buddy from their early years) he still had 17k in it and helping with the swap. (I wish i had the time and money to do a swap on anything).
There are a quite a few trust worthy shops out there that do some great work and piece of mind is priceless.
It is on the steel soldiers site https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-not-to-install-a-duramax-in-a-m998.199340/
