I have a 2002 dodge 2500 cummins dually yes 2500, that the dealer put on when it was new. They added the 1 ton springs duals front hubs everything. my ? is what ratings do i go by for towing. I have a 30ft gooseneck trailer that weighs 13000lb with horses hay and all the other crap. I never had any problems with it but would like to know if im over weight. Someone took off the sticker with all weights. Anyone that might have a clue on this thing please let me know. thanks Replies to this message: kcram (May 24, 2009 6:51 pm)

Replying to: jdscj8 (May 23, 2009 11:46 pm) Adding dual rear wheels to a 2500 is strictly cosmetic. It costs the truck about 600-700 pounds in lost payload, and functionally only adds the training-wheel effect for handling. A 3500 also has different brake rotors than a 2500, in expectation of the larger loads.   Even though the springs were changed, the manufacturer's build label is still what a police officer or DOT/DMV inspector will go by - you are limited to those numbers, regardless of how you modify the truck. To be perfectly honest, if the manufacturer's build label was missing, I never would have purchased that truck (it's a federal crime to remove or deface it) - that's a red flag to a police officer that the vehicle was either stolen or a victim of VIN "identity theft". It's in your best interest to have the truck's identity verified, and if anything is questionable, contact an attorney regarding how to handle it.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
