Hey guy's. I posted a couple other threads here about weights and most responses were of the mind set that yes im over weight but it looks like you should be ok. Sooo how will this affect my breaking?...

Need to weight your truck full of passengers and fuel, then subtract that from your GVWR and that will give you the pin weight number you can legally have, Most 3/4 have a GVWR of 10,000, are you sure your lower than that.
Ram was extremely conservative with their GVWR on both 2500's and 3500,s until 2013.
I tow a 12,360# GVWR 5er with a 2001, yes, I have a PacBrake, see hills a lot in the coast range.
Just be aware of possible legal issues if you are involved in an decadent, it would likely be an issue even if under TV GVWR, but could be worse if over. I run a dash cam as extra insurance.
