help settle a bet
Haven't weight it empty but with a sled deck and two sleds, half tank of diesel and me in it 10,000lbs. Empty with me in it full of diesel i'm assuming around 8,200lbs or so.
Since it's sort of on topic, does anyone know what you can legally carry on these trucks? I'm trying to find out what i'm legally allowed to haul with my 04 3500 and found about 10 different answers. Don't want to get caught overweight.

My dually is #12k and my 2500s are #8800 and my buddies SRW 3500 is #9200
I didn't see anyone answer your question about GVWR. Basically,the GVWR is the max that Dodge says your truck can weigh.
My 3500 SRW has a GVWR of 10,100lbs. My truck actually weighs 7200 empty. That means I can add 2900lbs of cargo before I'm overloading the truck per Dodge.

Ok here's my question, if the axles are 6k and 5k can't per DOT is concerned haul 11k? I really don't care what Dodge says, i'm just worried about DOT pulling me to the scales. Because I was 10k already, and I plan to have 3 more people in the cab, a bunch of gear, and the pin weight of a 2k trailer, which will be another 1,000lbs. I know the truck will handle it like nothing, but don't need to have problems with DOT.
10,000 is nothing, I know all of the stuff in my box is 1,800lbs very max. Sure isn't a lot of weight for a 1 ton

see i don't understand that does the hemi use the same axles under the hemi 2500? or are all the 2500's the same suspension wether its a hemi or not? if they are the same then why the 200 pound differance?
Curb weight=no payload
GVRW= with payload
btw, you won the bet!
I think he is talking about the GVWR.. The only thing I could guess is hemi trucks use a little smaller rear end then the CTD's do... I don't know if the axle strenght is the same or not, but the ring and pinion are smaller...
