I have an H3 Alpha, I want a diesel - and I'm looking at 2008 up duramax diesels. They weight ~400 lbs more (almost double what the 5.3 weighs).
Is there enough structure in the front of an H3 to support that much more weight? I really don't want to change the IFS - but will if I have to - though that will add time and cost to the project
*as an aside, I also am looking at 4BT, and 6BT Cummins but I think I'd have emissions problems with the 4BT, and the 6BT may not fit.....
or is this just stupid? Mind you, I have already put 15k on my H3 since I bought it in September; and I would drive it a lot more if I could get its mpg out of the 13 mpg it seems stuck at getting.... and I'm not selling it, ever - I'll run it to dust so cost really isn't a huge consideration.
