King pin weight

How do you figure the trucks not overloaded...920 lbs over the GVWR rating on the truck is overloaded!!!! You can't candy coat it and say because the OP is a few pounds under on RAWR that he's not overloaded! Anytime you exceed the GVWR your putting more stress on driveline components than they are meant to safely and reliably have. I guess some just think that GVWR is just some fictional # someone has pulled out of the air and stuck on the vehicle. Why do we even discuss weights when your going to tell people its okay to exceed posted ratings??

Bla BLa Bla...here we go again with the same old nonsense that somehow gvwr is a indicator of a overloaded vehicle.
However I'm not going to redebate you or others that pound this subject to death at least once a week. Pages and pages of gvwr or a gcwr or a yellow payload sticker number vs the gawrs/tire load capacity has been beaten to death already.
If the OP wants to know how much load his truck can safely/legally carry his area state troop post can give him those answers.

You do what you want on your setup and I'll do what I want on my setup but to me, its not very responsible for someone to tell someone else its ok to be overloaded on their equipment when it may or may not be safe. Is that something you want responsibility for if you tell someone its no big deal to be overloaded then they have an accident related to that...personally I wouldn't want that on my shoulders. That's all I'm saying about it.
