    Duramax 6.6 and Allison Transmission Swap

    Bump. would it be any cheaper to do this swap into a m1009? I was researching it for my k5 before I bought my m1009. (Id love both to be diesels) I am thinking 2001 and up duramax with standalone ECU and harness. Open to best transmission choices.

    I want to find the history of my truck and have seen a few posts about this but they are terribly old. I have the vin and a bumper number but do not know if that is original. The last owner believed it spent most of its time in AZ before moving onto the midwest.
