This info from a Tow Guide from 2002 Trailer Life Mag. This is max trailer weight. The Gross Combination Weight Rating is not given.
3500 Quad Cab 4WD 5.9 TD 12,950 a,f/h
3500 Quad Cab 4WD 5.9 TD 9,000 d,f
3500 Quad Cab 4WD 5.9 TD 12,000 d,h
3500 Quad Cab 4WD 5.9 TD HO 12,800 b,f
3500 Quad Cab 4WD 5.9 TD HO 14,300 b,h
NOTES: A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached to the vehicle frame should be used if the trailer being towed weighs over 10,000 lbs or has more than 1,000 lbs tongue weight. Camper Special Group Package is recommended with gooseneck or fifth-wheel applications. Use an exhaust brake for all 3500 manual transmission applications with a trailer weight over 10,000 lbs
TD= Turbo Diesel; a=five-speed manual; b=six-speed manual; c=three-speed
automatic; d=four-speed automatic; e=3.21 axle; f=3.55 axle; g=3.92 axle;
h=4.10 axle; i=optional Trailer Preparation Group required
HO is 245HP engine Other is 235hp engine
Hope this helps.

Those are the manufacturers ratings. If you don't care about your warranty the real tow capabilities are much higher. A little search of readers rigs with trailers attached should give you an idea. Be sure to register for what you are towing. Overweight tickets are expensive.
