Just a wee bit of sarcasm haha...

Having been in your shoes a few years ago (engaged) I can tell you **** happens quick and suddenly you have a couple of rug rats following you...I am picturing a rear wheel drive LS transplanted minivan putting down 808 to the ground.

With damn near 190,000 "hits" on this thread...

He would have to live on Mars to not know about this car...

And even then, I'm sure some Martian returning from Earth with a 5.3 to do a lse turbo swap in his martian rover would have told him about Matt's adventures with this car...

The only issue with the 4x4 2500HD is the weight and weak *** front end. You'll have a hard time running sub 10s. Ask the duramax guys

The D-max is far heavier than the 6.0L ... like hundreds. #2, D-max, being a diesel, makes massive amounts of torque and does it way low in the rpm range. Couple the two - there ya go.

We shouldn't equate those issues to the output and weight of a gas turbo. I'd expect he'll get great torque, but nothing like the D-max crowd should be able to get.

Great vid of course!
I hope the new owner takes it to the track and runs a 8.99
And the 'problem' was the DYNO.
