What is the difference between a 2500 and a 3500??

Is it just the suspension? My bud and I had a duscussion last night about this and I wasn't sure?? He said there was a bigger Cummins in the 1 ton, but I am pretty damn sure they aren't any bigger than the one in my 2500.

School me pleaseopcorn:

 

A bigger Cummins....rotfl Next time tell your friend that he is right and it's an ISX that is in the 1 tons, and that he needs to spread the word.:stir:

There is nothing different between a single rear wheel 3500 and a 2500 except for one extra leaf in the rear packs and maybe a slightly heavier frame, maybe. I think the brakes and drivetrain on these newer trucks are identical. Having dual rear wheels is the biggest gain of a 3500 chassis.

In the vintage of my truck, if you ordered a 2500 with the manual trans it basically was a 3500 without dual wheels.

 

Frame is the same, everything is the same except the addition of overload springs for the 1 ton.

 

Cool, thanks for straightening that up for meimp:

 

He could be correct if he is refering to the new 3500 chassis cab. The 2007 model is a 6.7 L Cummins.

 

I think its a 4500 cab and chassis. At least thats what truck trends said.... for now

 

The 6.7 is going to be in a 3500 cab and chassis model.

 

What are the specs on this new Cummins? ft/lbs HP?

 

You can see details from Dodge's website. 305 hp 610 ft/lb

Weak, thanks to good 'ol smog equipment. It's the early 80's all over again, except this time it's an all out smog equipment junk collection on diesels instead of gas engines.
