Default Will Duramax intercooler work on my gassy?

I'm going to to turbo my 06 2500HD 6.0. Will a Duramax intercooler just bolt onto my truck? I'm not using a Duramax turbo. Just the intercooler if it will work for a gas truck. Seems like the easiest way to get me through all the piping and not cutting into stuff with equipment I don't own. I understand things won't just bolt right up but it seems like it'll bring the piping closer to where I want to go right?

Pretty good guess is if that body style was offered in an intercooler duramax engine option you might get lucky with a lot of just bolting things in place. Only way to truly tell is park your truck next to one and compare.

I don't believe so. I know I've seen some guys try it and it wouldn't fit, not even close on the 1/2 ton trucks. 3/4 ton might be different... One guy made it work but he had to change the core support and run the whole Dmax stack, core support, intercooler and radiator. Come to think of it, his truck was a 3/4 ton too.
