2011 Chevrolet Sierra 2500HD: Complete first look

There are dozens of GM models to come in my annual extravaganza, but as an ex Chevy 3/4-ton owner, the 2500 is near and dear to my heart. Chevrolet has only just released photos of the 2011 Sierra 2500HD yet, but thanks to Davestuff, you'll know more about what's under the hood than GM--or your local dealer.
