Check GM-Trucks.com
Check out the GM web site, I think this subject was covered there within the last couple days.

In short, the 2500HD is the 3500 in single rear wheel form.
Now, the 2500 got dumped, the 2500 HD is only a 3/4-ton (heh, only), and the 3500 is both SRW and DRW.
Oh yeah, the 1500HD got dumped and GM spent money on R&D to make a true competitor for the Screw. ABout time....even if their engines drink loads of oil and knock.

NO! it is not true by any means
I know of 3 HD 8.1's and 1 6.0HD and ALL use a quart od oil every 750 miles ans knock like crazy below 50* on startup for about a minute
and the best part is they are 04's I "Thought GM supposedly fixed it by then".NOT

If, in fact, those conditions exist on those engines, they would generate a replacement under warranty claim, assuming the mileage is still under warranty.

i have a question
why did chevy make the 1500HD and 2500LD?
i mean a heavy half and a light three-quarter ton? aren't they about basically the same thing? seems like a waste of money to me.

Yes, they are the same thing - the 1500HD was the crewcab version of the 2500LD. If it was a regular or extended cab, it was a 2500, but if it was a crewcab, it was a 1500HD. Don't ask me why.
