Two things...
First... editted... Wasn't inteded to start a flame war.
Second... I have a dodge truck and the RAWR on the door jamb sticker is far less than what the actual manufacturer specifies to to be - In this situation, who is the manufacturer, Dodge or AAM, and whose specification is right or most correct?
what is AAM and where do I go to look at the axle rating for my 3500 srw 2010 Dodge diesel?
Who are the regulating authorities in the State of Washington for commercial vehicles?
Thanks for your input,.
AAM 11.5" is between 11k and 12k from AAM. Dodge derates it for a number of reasons. Two main reasons is Hardware around it and Marketing (Gives them room to grow as the competition grows).
The AAM 11.5" is used on Dodge 2500, 3500 SRW, and 3500 DRW. GM uses a 14bolt that is basically the same axle.
