2,200 rpm stall torque converter provides the critical link between the Duramax engine and the Allison transmission. The transmission case was powder coated gloss black while the cast aluminum PPE deep sump trans pan was powder coated candy blue. A Derale Performance transmission cooler keeps the fluid temperature in check while a gated Winters Sidewinder shifter controls gear selection.

With wrap-around limo-style seating in the rear along with a quartet of MB Quart 6x9-inch marine speakers and a huge ragtop moonroof the Safari Suburban is ready for a party anywhere the adventure takes you.
