How heavy is TOO heavy? GVWR on a 2500
Alright guys I'd like your input on something I can't stop arguing both ways. Current rig is a lower mileage 2005 2500HD Duramax cew cab, motor has been gone through and added ARP studs, all new belts...

As with all questions like this, there are two schools of thought- 1 is to adhere strictly to all the numbers as "never exceed under any circumstances". The second is to apply a little bit of logic and look at the actual nuts and bolts of your truck versus a 3500 SRW or even a dually. I used to own a 2005 2500HD, and after doing the research was the only tangible difference between the 2500HD and the 3500 were three things- rear spring pack, tires and wheels, and door sticker. All other components were identical. You've addressed the first two, you just need to decide whether the third factor matters.
