Yeah, I read the CL ad and was trying to determine if it had bulletproofed. Also, does anyone know what that storage system is behind the driver system? Is it just some extra shelving?
I can't wait to see some 2013's and 14's come up used a few years down the road. Maybe in 2026 I can afford a 2014. Probably not.
Offer $150k, spend the difference on swapping in a Cummins 12-valve and an Allison 6-speed. Done.
how difficult is that, And I wonder how that would work with California smog laws?
The swap is popular enough that a couple of companies sell swap kits. (see: Destroked.com for example). It's popular for the 2008-2010 trucks since the 6.4 is junk.
As for CA emissions, yeah, that's another issue. You have to meet the emissions of the chassis, so since it's a 2008 you'd have to swap in a 2009 or newer 6.7L Cummins.
Still worth doing over repairing or replacing the 6.4. It would be the first thing I'd do if I got a 2008-2010 'roamer.
