Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

2013 Chevrolet Suburban
Platform: GMT 400, 800, 900

slightly crazy idea but guidance/advice would be appreciated. 2007 tahoe diesel swap

No sorry we don't offer "DIY kits", we are a service based Co. I can tell you LMM SS Series build costs 6500 if you have the donor, (sounds as if you do). Torque management goes away as dose energy management when we reprogram the BCM, EBCM, BACKING MANAGEMENT, RDS, ABS, SRS, TCM and ECU.

As I stated before if you don't have a dealer that will work under the table with you via TECHII and a efiLive progamer, you get a really cool paper weight in the end.

The 15706 is the one of the most intensive builds we do here second only to the H2 due to the fact that it was never intended to be a diesel. To get an idea of how massive the the drive train is in the 706 body, in the 4x4 variant the front shaft is 34" and the rear is 36" putting the transfer case dead smack in the middle of the SUV.

ok so for 6500$ i can bring you my tahoe and the wrecked truck with the full drivetrain and you all would do it.

how do you beef it up to handle the diesel? and im guessing the tahoe would need a body lift to clear the allision ?

Sounds like the type of job that needs to be done by someone who has done it before and offers some kind of warranty.

Yea MD you are right it's a lot different from the basic 2003-2006 2500 SUV swap, and a 1 year warranty to ensure no bugs is comforting.

Kywill, yep the only thing you are responsible for is any missing or damaged incidentals for your build, I also have a Autotrack transfer-case we built for a Dmax so if we use that we may even be able to keep auto 4x4. (a new thing we are working on) Does your donor have Stabilatrack?
