Here is a picture of a 2500HD frame in the front. It sure looks like that 1500HD front frame picture above. I also have some more pics of the 2500HD frame in the folder below if anyone wants to compare them to a 1500HD or standard 2500. I for sure want to get to the bottom of this.



Sorry for the picture size, I may resize them later on.

The second attatched picture in the second post of this thread is from the 1500HD I think.

I used to have some more 1500HD frame pics and I'll look for them now. They were from L82gofast's truck.

I can get any other pictures that anyone wants of the 2500HD frame also.

My dad had a 2001 1500HD Crew Cab truck, and compared his current truck (Crew cab Duramax - 2500) the 1500HD's frame tucked underneath the body more.

The new truck's frame sticks out more from underneath, I dont know if its because the frame is that much more taller? or somthing...

Just my 2 cents.

The allison transmission trucks have a body lift which exposes more of the frame.

We need someone with a standard 2500 and a 1500HD to go get some pics of there frame to compare. I can host all the pics for anyone that wants to get them.

I want to get this all figured out.

I've looked before at a 1500HD and 2500HD frame before and I'm near positive they are the same though.

No need to roll your eyes. Why is the frame more exposed?
