Looking at 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD LTZ w/ DURAMAX 6.6L TURBO DIESEL V8 B20-DIESEL and a 2015 GMC SIERRA 2500HD 4WD / HD / TOW PACKAGE. The turbo diesel only has 500lb more of GVWR at 10,000 vs 9,500 on the 6.0.
Does that sound right?

A diesel just gives you more power not cargo capacity on similarly equipped trucks

Cargo capacity is based on chassis primarily.

Yep, chassis is the same with different running gear.

By 300-500lbs. Aluminum block and heads diesel vs cast iron block and aluminum heads gasser. And they arent much different in displacement; 6.6 liters vs 6 liters.

Where are you finding an aluminum block and head diesel? Hell, a 5.9 Cummins only weighs in 150lbs more than an iron head BBC.
