I'm still looking for a good used GM pickup. I posted about it a few weeks ago that I need a late model 2500HD, standard cab, long bed 4X4. A plain Jane Work Truck is fine. Gasser.
I bid on one this week in SLC, Utah but didn't get it. No big deal. Not in a hurry and know I'll find one.
But I've seen a couple of 3500s and am wondering about them now. Single wheels - don't want a dually.
My 06 has the 4:11? (4:12?) rear end. I think that was the only option that year.
I think it's just right and wouldn't want the taller 3:53? Or lower.
What gear ratio does a 3500 have?
How much higher GVW are they? How about CGVWR - towing capacity? They have the same 6.0 engine and I think tranny as the 2500.
Are they noticably rougher riding?
What about gas mileage 2500 vs 3500?
I'm just thinking out loud here and you guys collectively know Everything so thought I'd ask about them.
Thanks for your thoughts.
