price wise not sure on final cost

if u get a donor truck the same year as the h2 your working on would probly make it easier

-A good donor for ex a rollover or theft with low kms would be ideal probly be anywhere from 5000 to 10000 bucks

- Body lift is almost a must

- reconfigure cooling system

-reconfigure fuel system

-probly be a good idea to change rear differential to a full floater , but stock be fine if engine is left stock

- change out gauge cluster , steering column , fuse panel , computers etc etc

-first one will be time consuming for sure

- my cummins swap was 10000$ all said and done

- my guess is duramax in a h2 would be 15000 + ++++

im interested in buying been looking in auctions for a h2

idealy i would like to do a h2 duramax first before attempting on a customers ride

just so i can come up with final cost and any issues

if your not in a total rush maybe line something up in near future

that figure of 15000$ is a guesstimate

parts truck can vary 5 to 10 k lower k the better

everywhere i looked swaps are 20 to 40 k teaka toys , predator , avalanche engineering

15000 seems good for budgeting for parts

there labour on top

will see odds are i be doing one first then for others
