Chevy 2500 and 2500 HD frame and suspension differences
My buddy is looking for a new truck and is going to get a 2500. I told him to get a duramax but he said that he heard that the frame and suspension on the 2500 is the same on the 2500HD duramax and that the front suspension "can't" handle the weight of the heavier duramax engine and that the frame is prone to cracking under heavy snowplow use. I told him that I didn't think this was true but wanted to see what you guys had to say.
