Saw a DMax Burb at the track today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_C-30 · 06-06-2011, 10:11 PM

We went to Montgomery Motorsports Park to catch the Hot Rod Power Tour and I saw it making passes. It was ungodly hot and the track was slick as an onion, but the big Burb still ran a best time of 13.10 @ 108 while I was watching. It embarrassed several muscle cars and Cummins Dodge 2500. I wish I had been able to get some up close pics aand specifics, but the only place I ever saw it was running. The place was packed, and I don't know where he was parking...

Awesome! To bad you couldn't get closer to check it out and talk to the owner.

Monty · 06-06-2011, 10:37 PM

i like how it's in stealth trim.

capev86 · 06-07-2011, 10:52 PM

I could probably do a 15 sec 1/4 mile or better in my 72 burb c20 if i put my 406sbc and 700r4 in it. that 3 on the tree is fun but is not very quick.

if you ever see that truck again, you need to get the owner on this board!

No doubt. That's the bad thing, I never caught up with him. I just saw the Burb running. I would have looked to seen under the hood.

I think this is the same suburban.I saw these pictures on the main message forum under 2011 Hot Rod power tour.

Yes! That is it. Thanks for posting the pics. I was really wanting to see under hood!

C20-67_N_MO · 06-13-2011, 05:42 PM

Very cool setup!

Bryanl · 06-17-2011, 10:35 AM

Does anyone have anymore info. on this build? I'm curious about the transmission setup and how they got it to ride so low.
That is an awesome ride. I have a 72 Sub and an 04 Sub Dmax conversion but the ultimate for me will be to put the 72 body on the late model chassis. I'm thinking the way to do it is swap the dmax into a suburban chassis like mine. The wheelbase between the 72 and 04 is pretty close. So I'm thinking that with a small body lift it could be close enough that you wouldn't have to cut up the frame. But I am just speculating.

72duraburb · 06-26-2011, 05:09 PM

Hey guys this is the owner of the 72 burb with the duramax. Been trying to post on here but not real handy at the computer. I am from Carroll Iowa and this was my project over the winter. Tons of fun to drive it made the long haul on the power tour 4123miles door to door! Glad you all like it

Monty · 06-26-2011, 06:46 PM

duraburb, welcome to the board! freakin' awesome suburban. love the little touches like AC and hydroboost.

what transmission do you have in it?

72duraburb · 06-26-2011, 07:06 PM

We put it on the chassy dyno in michigan 435hp and 889ft lbs of torq I think the 12 bolt has seen it match! Just put in a moser dana 60 with 35spline axles that should take care of the torq but now 4 a bigger turbo!!

vectorit · 06-26-2011, 07:47 PM

WELCOME 72duraburb!

You have to tell us all about your very cool burb!

Did you take pictures during your build? If you did, please post those up so we can all see how you did it!

There are few similar builds on this board, and it's cool to see another diesel powered burb here.

Again, welcome to the best place on the net for the Suburban!

72duraburb · 06-26-2011, 08:45 PM

Very cool Burb! I'll keep an eye out for you this weekend. We'll be there and might run the auto cross too. My brother just came back from Brainerd with the vette this past weekend. It wasn't running very fast but atleast it made passes.

See you this weekend. Ryan.

Monty · 06-27-2011, 08:48 AM

tell me about the hydroboost mount plate. that looks like a clean install.
