So I’ve been talking about diesel swapping my C20 Suburban for a while, both here and the r/Diesel page, but I have not actually decided on which diesel I want. Right now it has a 6.2 Detroit in it, which I love, but isn’t great for the work I have planned for it (tow rig). So I’ve been throwing around the idea of doing a CAT3126 swap as it would be unique and be more than capable of doing the job I need it to do, but as I started looking into them more and more I saw how finicky and temperamental they can be, especially with the HUEI pump and oil change intervals, plus the cost of rebuilding one isn’t something I am a fan of. So I settled on two options, a DT360 or an L5P Duramax. Now me being a logical person I look at the DT360 and see a mechanical engine that can take ungodly amounts of power and shrug it off, basically zero wiring (less wires = better in my opinion), lower rebuild costs, unmatched reliability, and several other things I don’t remember, all in a package roughly the same size as a 12 valve Cummins, which has been swapped into a square body truck multiple times before so I know it fits. However, the engine has been out of production for more than 40 years and parts are not as easy to find as the Duramax. Then I look at the Duramax and see a pretty reliable engine that is more than capable of doing what I need in a lighter package that is more commonly available and still in production so if something breaks getting a replacement part isn’t as big of a hassle as it is with the DT engine. Also I LOVE the sounds that come out of a straight piped duramax makes (the truck is emissions exempt, it wont have emissions with either engine), however, I do not understand electricity in the slightest and rewiring my entire truck just for the sound is not something I want to do. My dad thinks Duramax for the availability, coworkers are split with most thinking I’ll never actually get around to it. What are your thoughts?
