I had a 2005 2500hd ECSB 6.0 with the snowplow prep package (stiff tbars) and hated the way it rode. I now have a 2002 2500hd CCSB and think it rides pretty nice, even compared to regular 3/4 tons, let alone hd's. Nice truck, really like the dynamics of the truck. would prefer it was an 8.1 though.

My bro has a 2014 1500 crew and isn't too crazy about the trans shift feel, mileage, or the rock hard head rests. Its pretty sharp besides that though.
