No Cracker Jack box CDL's here....In Va it's a different story, you're not going to lose a CDL over an overweight ticket, just was looking to avoid the confrontation altogether.
I'm in an area where scale bypassing is regular so there's always eyes out and brake checks all the time...would be just my luck the day I wanted to take a chance.
My question is does the GCWR change from engine to engine or just the recommended tow rating based on engine? Can the platform handle the weight even if the motor is weaker is what I'm trying to say.
If I took a 6.0 2500 burb and put a duramax/allison in, then my rating would change based on power, but what about legal GCWR?
