Truly Awesome
With the 2500LD you'll generally pay more insurance as I just alluded to in another thread. That was my experience comparing otherwise apples to apples ('94 C1500 5.7 vs. '94 C2500LD 5.7 on same policy.) However in terms of brakes and rear end durability, as well as a slight increase in payload capacity, I'd say it's worth it.Maybe a light duty 3/4 ton is a good idea then
The half tons are the ones known for snapping behind the cab, right?
Dunno about snapping behind the cab? 1500 and 2500LD frames are identical other than a few small gussets/braces added here and there mostly around the spring hangers and shackle brackets. What I've noticed a lot of on older trucks are just bad cab mounts causing an obvious sag which is easy to see between rear of the cab and the bed.
