How much pin weight?
I have a 2002 Silverado 2500HD, duramax, allison. Is 1615lbs. to much pin weight for this truck? I am considering a new 5th wheel and was concerned about this.

I have a 2003 2500HD. I weighed my truck and camper last summer ready to camp and the pin weight was 1900 lbs which put my rear axle weight at 5200 lbs total. So with my pin weight I'm still 700 lbs below my RAWR.
Without loading your truck full of fuel, pass, gear, hitch, and weighing it, this gives a good example using similar truck.
If you are looking at new FW brochure pin wts, they can be higher than listed, and certainly higher loaded to camp.
Best to weigh yours to see what is left before going over RAWR/max tire load.
