GMC Sierra 2500HD four wheel drive pickup trucks will be replacing Suburbans for EMS supervisors and fire battalion chiefs. The FDNY placed an order for 80 trucks to be delivered, I do not know when. GMC has discontinued the diseal option on the surburbans, which the FDNY perfers especially because all firehouses are equiped wirh diseal fuel.

So what happens to the old vehicles? Do they trade them in or auction them off? Or are they that beat they just scrap them?

  Some are kept as spares for a while and then sold at auction.
 
Pretty sure Odyssey is doing the conversions for FDNY... Look at this video:
