Heh, well my last truck was an '08 CTD 2500 and...
yes, 2500 axles are stronger, vers 1500 axles, I just assumed every one all ready understood that, but, from my ownership expierances, 2500 drive line with non serviceable u joints has proven to be not up to standard of a HD truck, I may have a querky truck, but don't asume the 2500 drive line is bullet proff vers a 1500 Ram with its querks.
I like the civilness of my new truck but it feels like a Toyota Camry compared to my 3rd gen HD. That truck was all truck and felt like it was capable of towing heavy all day long. Of course it was "all truck" and sacrificed comfort and daily usability for that(the family hated it) so we needed something a little softer and swapped for the 1500 as it's awesome for everyday use. I gave up a good bit of truck capability though in the swap.
My $0.02... the 1500 has nothing on the 2500 from a work standpoint having owned both.
