We've been getting these questions a lot lately: What will a diesel conversion cost, and can you do the diesel swap?
Why it's $10k:
- 6BT is ~$2000 + $1500 for basic rebuild (head, pistons, rings & bearings).
- 4BT is ~$3500 + $1500 for basic rebuild (head, pistons, rings & bearings).
- Adapter plate, flywheel and starter is ~$2000.
- Shift controller is ~$600. http://kit.com/debossgarage/parts-materials/85615-quick-1-electronic-t
- Alignment fluids, fittings, hoses, machining is ~$500.
- DG shop rate is $65/hr at an estimate of 70 hours.
- Don't forget shipping + taxes!
