No idea why GM switched.
Parts is a MAJOR issue on the Eatons.... and on my HO72 (one ton...and you are right HO52 is 3/4 ton, ho72 is one ton) the brakes were STUPID expensive and a real PITA to get my hands on..and this is with the best parts man in town.
I would be all over a 14 bolt if I had the access/cash. Gears is another reason to go with the 14 bolt
