3/4t vs 1t differences
I realize there has been many questions asked about this and I have read quite a few but still doesn't really answer my curiosity completely, so here it goes... Say if I need to use the truck 60-70...

On that thought...where do you stop???
My Suburban is a 1996 K2500 and tongue'n cheek call it a K3500...
Because ordered it with with the F60 Snow Plow prep option that gets the
1 ton front
The rear axle assembly from AAM is the same as the 1 ton dually of that year
Both has a 6,000 RGAWR by GM
BUT...AAM, the supplier to GM, rates it 10,000 GAWR
So should I then say my RGAWR is 10,000 ?
I've upgraded to larger and higher rated tires, alloys and
performance friction materials...
Changed out the MC to the 1 ton dually, as it has larger bore dias
Changed out the rear brake cylinders to 1 ton dually, as it has
larger bore dias
What am I missing from the 1 ton dually?...know that the software
is different, the brake bias valve assembly is different, the front
disc are thicker, the front brake caliper is bigger...what else?
But for me...I'll keep to the OEM's 6,000 RGAWR...
