Anybody thought of a diesel conversion?
Anybody thought of a diesel conversion?
YES. I have. Ive always wanted to put a diesel into my truck, but I dont know if its ever been done in my body style, let alone could be done. frames might be completely different. Maybe when they come out with the 1/2ton diesels they will work

The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
it can be done! you might need some motor mounts made but frame rails are similar ive put a 8.1 in a 1/2 and only one mount had to be modified and idk how well the Alison fits in a 1/2 ton trany tunnel the Alison isnt huge but its not small ethier

I have a Dmax engine and harness for sale. It has been done. I would use the 80E over the alison. That thing is just HUGE and just to build one out you are looking over 3500.00.. No trans brake options that I know of, and you have to modify the tranny tunnel area heavily to make it fit.

i dont think they are exatly i probably should measure both mine to see i know that the trany cross member is different and a 80e probably would be better for strip and i was thinking ats made a race type 4 speed but just checked there site and no 4 speed
but i do love alisons they are so easy to build and they are just a simple trans they are very cool i thinkjust not in a 1/2ton
