Selling our 4WD Ambulance conversion built on 2010 chevy Express 4500 dually. It has the very sought after Diesel Duramax LMM (last model before DEF fuel) with only 157,000 miles. Can easily drive above 80mph but we like to drive around 60 to average 15mpg when cruising on highway. 56-gallon fuel tank provides 800+ mile range.
4WD conversion was done in 2019 by Advanced 4WD Systems in Salt Lake City at a cost of $18,000.
Recently fully serviced. No open recalls, no engine check lights. Installed New belts, new fan clutch and had the DPF (diesel particulate filter) removed and cleaned per factory specs and reinstalled by a professional shop when we were in California last fall, should be good for next 150k miles.

• Comes all equipped and ready to go, including inflatable kayak. Just bring your clothes.
We have a pdf file to explain how everything is wired and works (our user manual).
Cons are only cosmetic:
• Classic Chevrolet white paint peeling off in spots on the galvanized front cab (the rest is aluminum and in perfect condition)
• Reflective ambulance tapes on back of the ambulance have been damaged by the sun and will need to be removed.
We may decide to attend to one or both issues before selling it. Mileage may go up as we use it every now and then for shorter weekend trips.
