2500 vs 3500

[jaybrown]

what are the differecnes between the 2500 and 3500 on the 12v era trucks?
thanks, jay

Dual wheels, axle width, GWVR...

Are you trying to figure something out?

 

[jaybrown]

front and rear axle and transfer case the same?

 

[displacedtexan]

Width of the rear axle is different. Almost positive that the front axles are the same. 99.99999%

3500 and 2500 manual have Dana 80, 2500 autos have Dana 70.

Pretty sure that the 3500 and 2500 manuals have DHD t cases, and 2500 autos have DLD, wouldn't swear to it though...

I'm pretty sure my 97 2500 has a DHD t-case I was thinking it was an option?

 

[12valvetater]

How can you tell what t-case you have? Is there a tag on them somewhere?

 

[CumminsCowboy97]

nick my 97 2500 has the DHD also, yes there is a tag on them its on the back side of the case

My 97 2500 with overload springs and NV4500 has the DLD x-fer case, so I'm gonna say that the DHD was an option.

 

[NickTF]

My underhood tag is what I used to draw the conclusion.

 

[displacedtexan]

DHD may have been an option... Sounds like it was part of a package other than the manual tranny. Now I'm wondering...

Overloads...

 

[plowman61]

Overloads...

I've got a 97 3500 with no overloads....

DHD was an option.. Don't have one on my 98 manual. Overloads were an option. Axles are a little wider on the dually rear. Fronts are the same though with a spacer. 70 on the auto 2500, 80 center with 70 outters on the 2500 manual. And Dana 80 on the dually.

These are the only things I can think of.
