6.2/6l80e

Weak.



Tweaked duramax is hard to even touch with a gasser in a 6500-7000 lb vehicle.

Buuut.....they ain't cheap!

amen to that. not as reliable once full out tampered with despite how much money is thrown at it. with more power comes the inevitiable need to anounce that power to the world.

Duramax chunks are dead nuts reliable until you start pushing 7-8-900 hp...

Nice work... Kudos on the NBS esky CC... I'd like 2 see if that NBS steering column will swap directly, or if modding is needed..? If so wat kinda modding..?

Steering column is not a direct swap, lower housing doesn't bolt up to existing OBS brackets but you I could cut the bracket off of an OBS column and weld it on to the new column. There's four inverse torx screws holding the two halves of the column together that I just can't seem to get out. Broke a 1/4" joint breaking the first one loose and couldn't get any of the others to budge. If I could get those out then the top half of the NBS column should bolt right to the bottom half of the OBS column. It's a pain in the ass but I've been putting off hacking it up until I'm sure it's the only option.

Dammn. That's bad ass man. Lot of really nice work here bud. Can tell your proud of it and i'm glad to see it!

All I can do is drool over that interior!

Word... And at the steering box..? Does the NBS column mate up to the obs steering box..?

And do you have progress pics for reference?
Awesome build by the way.

Cam i ask you how you find your NBS parts so easy? Id love to find a stock BOSE stereo to put in my OBS truck!

That is a very nice burban. A Dmax would be sweet.
