Replying to: jreagan (Feb 23, 2007 5:40 am) Thanks for the updated information. I only wish GM would write that in simple language - like you did - and publish it on their website, or any website for that fact.   Now..I'll have to compare the two in Edmunds.com and see what they have to say. Better yet, go to the dealer. Only problem is...they'll sink meathooks into me, convincing me I should trade my '05 Silverado (with only 11,000 miles) for a NEW '07. Forget it...I'll just go in for an oil change and look, saying I'm having service done on my '05.   Thank you again... Replies to this message: jreagan (Feb 23, 2007 6:48 am)

Replying to: 07classic (Feb 13, 2007 6:59 pm) it seems they made the silverado classic for 06 and 07. I would like to say that they are the same but I went to buy wheels for mine and was told that 06 uses a different wheel than an 07. Has to do with clearance of the brake parts etc. But thanks for the information from others it was helpful.

I believe whoever told you that assumed you were talking about the 2007 New body style.   Also, they do not call the 2006's "Classics" because all of the trucks built for 2006 were the same body style.

Replying to: jreagan (Feb 23, 2007 1:52 pm) The 2006 and the 2007 "Classic" are not identical trucks. Try to put an 06 oil filter on an 07. It will not fit. I've been told that they have many differences. Replies to this message: 07classic (Apr 29, 2007 2:00 pm) jmkrobot (May 14, 2007 10:08 am)

Replying to: dfd3000 (Apr 29, 2007 3:00 am) Well first I would have to ask what engine are you referring to and then also if one was 2 or 4 wheel drive. a 2006 with 4.3 liter uses the same oil filter as a 2007. But that is for 2 wheel drive with 4.3Liter engine. I do know that most 2 wheel drive with v8 use a different filter than a 4 wheel drive with v8 due to space constrictions.

Replying to: 07classic (Apr 29, 2007 2:00 pm) These trucks are definitely NOT the same. My 2001 HD has a length of 237.2 in. The new 2007 HD is 239.7; nearly 2 1/2 inches longer. I know, most would not care about this fact... and that's fine.   Except now I will no longer be able to park my $50K truck in my Garage. ARG!!!!
#14 of 26 2500HD and 3500HD silverado by jim8606 Jun 15, 2007 (10:24 am)
New to posting so bear with me. My father is trying to buy a new silverado. He was going to buy a new 3500HD single axle(does not like duallys). He thought that the axle and tranny were heavier in the older models(classic) over the 2500. But in the HD (new models) all the info that chevy has out looks as if comparably equipped 2500HD and 3500HD are the same truck with the exception of the suspension. Dealerships (2) seemed to be guessing. Called Chevy help line (no help) . Can anyone tell me the differences aside from the rating (and the #on the side of the truck)?
#15 of 26 Do they make the 3500 HD in a single rear wheel? by obyone Jun 15, 2007 (12:41 pm)
Didn't think so but I could be wrong. Last I heard the 2500HD is actually a 3500 SRW Replies to this message: jim8606 (Jun 15, 2007 3:46 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Jun 15, 2007 12:41 pm) under the 3500HD there is a single rear wheel or dual rear wheel
