Electronic controlled Detroit 4-53T engine in a 2004 GMC 2500
--Detroit never offered a 4-53 with electronic controls, this is a one of a kind engine (and truck).
--Estimated 225+ HP.
--Allison 1000 five speed transmission that also talks to the engine computer.
--Both the engine and truck conversion done at Leid Diesel Service in Newville, PA 717 776 7725, primarily a two cycle Detroit shop. This is one of their personal trucks.

  • Is this real

  • @dontstreetrace

    Is what real? it's a running driving truck yes. But GM didn't build it that way and Detroit didn't build the DDEC 4-53T either, both are conversions

  • Didn't know Detroit made a DDEC 4-53T

  • @donnactrc

    They didn't..

  • @Grigg3 Do you know if the 4bt forum talks about putting a 5 or six speed manual behind a 4-53t? I was wanting to go with mechanical injector pump and without the electronics.

  • @fmagalhaes1521

    It does, go have a look and see what you can learn

  • man thats cool. maybe it would be more convincing if they wound that thing up!

  • @danraich It looks like it was a gas truck, the tach goes too high for a diesel.

  • Grigg3. Do you know anyone who has a nice detroit powered 4x4 truck forsale? ThX

  • What does it cost to build this setup?

  • @kenfo0 I didn't think you really needed a reason to put a 2-stroke diesel in other than "I like the sound" :P I think the swap is super cool.

  • @dasani110

    Yours was the best, until this! This conversion rules! Of course, the cost of even a used Allison is HI$. Much less the DD"E"C setup. ö
