Yes, at least in 2004, Duramax is only available in 2500HD or 3500 trucks.

What Stone said applies to all yrs 01-present. If you want the Duramax you have to go HD or 3500. The diesel enigne is too heavy for regular 3/4 ton setup. Some differences are stiffer springs on HD, skidplates, i think the acutal frame is thicker as well.
