Things I forgot to cover (and if you know something let me know and Ill add it)
-Front Transfer Case Mounts are Different
-Sway Bar Mounts Are Different
Nice video, i love my 03 2500 Suburban and i also own a 86 k5 blazer and there is alot different in ways of frame construction back in the 60's-80's C/K trucks to even a 92 silverado i used to own, it had a decent built frame with some boxing up front like they did the 2500's. Very informative, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the informative video. 🫡🫡
this is exactly what i wanted to know
Wow. Alot different. I figured they’d be the same for manufacturing purposes and design the 2500 components accordingly.
Bodies are the same thats about where it stops
Dang i wish i saw this when i was looking to buy one. I could’ve saved alot of money. But great video! Thanks for showing us the difference and i love knowing i can swap the cab. U should do one comparing a 2500 pickup with the 2500 suburban
if only i had a 2500 silverado.....
The truck frames are closer right? If this was silverado 2500 vs 1500 they are damn close besides the beefed up frame rails
Would I be able to use a 1500 Body Mount Bushing kit on a 2500?
I drive a 2009 Burb 2500.
Thanks for the video and any additional info you can provide.
Body mounts should be the same between the 1500 and 2500. I know at least on the gmt800s they are. The 900s should be the same as well
Surprising for gm to have so many differences.
I'm about to do a 1500 burb body swap onto my 2500 8.1 chassis.
I belive the 2500 fuel tank is slightly narrower also making up for the frame rails being closer together where the 1500 tank would have driveshsft issues .
Great video .
My 8.1 radiator support is bent I was wondering the difference in the 1500 one.
Looks like I need to find a replacement for the 2500
How did this go for you? Lining up the 1500 body on the 2500 frame
@alexcurtis9790 body is the same just a few nuts are not in the body in the back where the 2500 mounts were moved due to rear suspension.
The holes are there just have to be creative to get nuts in there
Anybody know where I can take my suburban to get the frame changed gonna make a few dumb choices with it and don’t want it to split in half in the middle of the road
taking them to scrap? they look brand new compared to what's rolling the streets of New England
Did you not watch the video? The 2500 frame had been repaired badly multiple times. And the 1500 frame was bent and folded in the front from a collision. Neither were fixable
Suburban and Avalanche are different from the 1500 pick-up frame so not a "great" comparison but mostly good info
This is just talking about SUV frames as it says in the description.
