This may be a bit of sacrilege, but I saw it today and almost can't contain myself. Don't get me wrong, I love the CTD and the Dodge Rams, but runner up in my list of favorite vehicles is suburbans. If the General had a diesel in the suburban at the time I was shopping for the CTD, a suburban would have been a consideration as well. I have owned three differnt suburbans my whole life (as comparably short as that may be).

Anyhow, diotribes apart, I was reading Diesel Power Mag and the General has a 4.5 liter Dmax Concept Suburban!!!
Needless to say if it sees production, we have found the wifes "Last Vehicle" Just like my ram is for me!!!

Looks pretty sweet, anyone else seen it?

 

Well you can't buy one from the dealership, but there are companies that do the Duramax/Allison conversion on suburbans.

Ok did some reasearch on the burb (ben oogeling too) i love suburbans they have always ben one of the vehicles i wanted but never got to try ,according to GM late 2009 3/4 ton planned production with smaler duramax, and we all know the duramax can make lots of HP. will keep my eyes out this will be interesting to see how it turns out

 

Yeah I saw the truck they did in Diesel Power

 

I HEAR the 2009 duracrap will be puttin out 400hp, might have to turn up my smarty

 

the 4.5 liter in their concept burban at SEMA has 310 hp and520 torque.. not too bad

 

Until the aluminum heads blow off of it.

 

There's a company that converts shortbed 3rd gens innto "suburbans", I saw some picsfrom the website but don't have the link,over on DTR they were calling them "ramburbans"

 

Cool, I would like to see a pitcure of that....

 

I've never been a fan of the Surburban, however odly enough I am a HIGE fan of the old panel wagons.



Weird huh ??
