Now that I've driven my swapped rig for a month, I can contribute to this thread.
1. 1996 LC
2. 1HD-T with Gturbo Grunter and Wholesale Automatics A442f Extreme
3. Overall, the swap works really well.
4. Bought this rig already swapped but had to tune it. I was surprised by how tedious it was to get the boost compensator tuned correctly. But, after getting that set, the truck really drives well, with good EGTs.
5. CDL Switch, Front and Rear ARBs, OME stock height lift, Slee headlight harness, 315 Duratracs
6. This engine is great in my daily driver. It accelerates almost like a gas engine on pavement but the low down torque is awesome off road.
7. I get and average of about 18.5 mpg for a mix of city and highway. My average could easily get above 20mpg but highway traffic out here requires me to drive about 80 mph. So, I consider my current mileage to be really good!
8. I didn't perform the swap but the previous owner did have to call in the professionals and have Torfab complete it. After Torfab did their work, though, this truck feels like a factory diesel.
9. 2 to 3 pictures of your rig. (see below)
