It seems with the tranny swaps, etc that it would be easier (and maybe cheaper?) to just get a heavy duty instead of a normal half or 3/4 ton. I know the reason people don't is the added weight in these trucks.

But what exactly is the weight difference? Does the 4L80E come in 1500 HD trucks? I'd imagine that it would be lighter than a 2500 HD, right?

Whats the weight/cost differences between a 1500, 1500 HD, 2500, etc?

yes the 4l80e comes on the 1500hd, only comes in a CC though.

IMO, HD is the way to go. 5450lbs for a 2500hd 2wd

according to consumer guide, thats a 1500+ pound difference!

Mr. Sandog

Listen to the man...he has the truck that everyone will wish they had once they get up to 450 RWHP and start breaking 4L60 trannies and 8.5" rear ends...

yeah see thats the thing. after a tranny and rear end swap, i'm wondering what the weight difference is. probably still a lot, with a strong rear and tranny

Negative, maybe half that, maaaybe, for "a like" ECSB 1500 series
