Yessir....8 lug and 3/4 ton leaf springs.,.. I even went to dealership and had them print me out a build-sheet by entering my vin number into their database.....The badges say 2500 as well but no HD......Seems weird to put 3/4 ton heavy duty suspension and axle under it and then go and put the 5.3L w/ 4L60E powerplant in it......Pointless? I have a fuel efficient 2500 that overheats the trans if i use the HD suspension as it was intended...

I have a 2008 new body crew cab long bed 4x4 2500HD LMM and I get 20+ routinely hauling *** everywhere on the highways of Texas.
I actually made a chart and its dead on for my truck.
23mpg @ 70mph
20mpg @ 75mph
18mpg @ 80mph
18mpg @ 85mph
14mpg @ 95-100mph
Thats a DSP5, DPF delete w/ 4" exhaust with muffler, 35" tires, stock 3.73 gears, FASS pump, pacific trans cooler.
So, basic mods.
