2500hd vs 1500

[teamgreen213]

I have a 1500 Z71 with a 7 in third coast susp lift and a 3 in body on 38x15.5-20 it has almost 190000 miles on it and i have replaced almost everything underneath the truck would a 2500 hd with just a 6in kit be a good stoppin point to not keep throwning cash away

Well a 2500 is a good way to go if you could use the extra power. If you don't need the power keep the 1500. Just my opinion.

In my opinion you should keep the 1500, you put all that work into it and you wont get back the money you put into it.190,000 miles and probably an equal amount of memoriers with it! Unless you need it for towing i dont see a reason to upgrade. But then again im just a newbie!

I've owned both and I like my 2500HD. I guess it's the Diesel that I really love. It is nice to have the extras that come with the 2500 though.

i was wondering the exact same thing i have a 1995 1500 with 22s and a leveling kit and my granddad is sellin his 2500HD (6.0 Liter Vortec Gas), and i thought about it but everyone i know is tellin me to keep the 1500. just do what you want and enjoy what you end up with. either way your gettin a chevrolet.

If it is a diesel i say go for it, but dont bother getting a 2500HD with a gasser. if you are gonna do that just stay with what you have now. oh btw you got any pics? sounds like a sweet ride.
