So why exactly didn't GM put the DMax into the Brub and Yukon?
I mean I am in the market for a new family cruiser and I either need to get a 7 year old burb or an Excursion. I just don't get why they didn't offer the diesel in the SUVs

My guess is the Allison tranny not fitting. Imagine hooking that burban up to that 7 ton trailer and pulling it (and the family, the luggage, the dog, the groceries, plus all the holiday gifts for Uncle Bill and family) across the country. I'd bet the D-max would be up for the job, but I seriously have questions about the old trannies.
I don't know much about the new one. But that's my guess...http://www.thedieselpageforums.com/t...ons/icon10.gif

I don't understand why they wouldn't modify the floor in the same way they do with the pickups.
It just boggles the mind the decisions that car makers make.

The GMT-800 pickups (01-07) don't have a modified floor/tunnel. GM's answer was a 2" body lift. It's my guess the high center of gravity of SUV's, and accompanying public controversy, made GM very hesitant to do the same for the Suburbans. You can probably thank the publicity of the Samuri, Bronco II and Explorer for their reasoning.
Ahh that makes more sense. Also explains the more ruged stance on the HDs
So I guess if someone didn't fear the sawzall and they had a 03 Sub and a wrecked 03 HD pickup the conversion would be straight forward?
