What Cummins12V98 is trying to point out is that the 5'er does not add any additional weight to the front axle. Therefore it's OK for the diesel engine to max. out the FAWR.
I am not a tire and axle rating only guy.
I believe in staying within all the ratings including GVW.
Nevertheless I understand the point he is making.
This post isn't about maxing out the FAWR, this post is about why the OP's truck only has 1860 pounds of payload available for pin weight. And my post (wherein I was resoundingly told I was "Wrong") was all about the 800 extra lbs that diesel engine weighs gobbling up payload.
You can read my post, it's right there in the middle of page 2.
And I explained WHY the 800# engine is irrelevant when towing a 5er.
