I have thought of doing mine, you can by a wrecked diesel for under 5 grand, but the labor seems to be where the work is at. wiring all that stuff to the dash so everything still works, that part scares me. but i bet its bad azz when its done.

About 3 weeks if everything good smooth. Here is the update, I had no fuel system so they had to fab one with a cooler from scratch, also you can see the before and after pic's of the ABS swap. Drive shaft will be ready Monday.

Just found my way in guys,
Lot of trash talk in the beginning on this what was up with that??
some folks must have some identity issues
missed page 4 thru 12 ...(actually skipped)......... total waste of time
(Que to the moderator for a clean up, just dump that crap)
Just to bring everyone up to speed while H2's are very cool in thier own right they are not 4X4, nor are they 2500!
They are 1/2 ton AWD SUV's & SUT's on a 2500 3/4 ton frame with light duty 3/4 ton axels
I see a lot of talk here about the 4L80E transmissions and HD transfer-cases and that is NOT what is supplied in the H2
The 2003-2006 H2 is powered by the low power 300 HP LQ4 6.0L with a 1500 1/2 ton 4L60E transmission and the transfer-case is common to the 1500 Tahoe (and sometimes Suburban) 1/2 ton, RPO code NR4.
IT IS NOT A TRUE 4X4 and IT IS NOT A FULL 2500 RUNNING GEAR
Decisions decisions....
there are 3 different versions of DuraBurb H2 units.
All Duty= AWD OEM differentials retained 9.25" open front/ 9.5" user locked rear (ideal for every day driving)
Medium Duty= Silverado/Sierra full locking 9.25 front differential / OEM 9.5" user locked rear (auto locked in 4X4 mode) (best for off-roading)
Heavy Duty=Silverado/Sierra full locking 9.25 front differential / OEM 11.5" G80 auto locker rear (necessary for power levels 500-700HP)
Hope this clears some stuff up for folks
MPG My uncle says the 2 most commonly lied about truths among men are sex and gas mileage
Truth be known our clients see 14-15 MPG in town and 19-20 highway
with a 12K load (not possible with the H2) we see 12 MPG@70 MPH
Just a FYI from the horses mouth
