5.9 Cummins Diesel Towing capacity
I see by the owner's manual that the total towing capacity for my 5.9 24 valve Dodge 3500 4x2 is about 13000 and the rig I am looking at is 14000 Any ideas?

here are figures
Trans/Axle GCWR Payload Curb Wt Tow Wt Payload Curb Wt Tow Wt
A4/3.55 16,000 3,120 5,679 10,150 2,630 6,174 9,700
A4/4.10 18,000 3,120 5,679 12,150 2,630 6,174 11,700
I have the 3.55 gear set
Per the chart above tow weight for me would be 10,150 and payload is 2630 for a total of 12,780 for the 5vr. Correct?
Also I got the truck back today with a flushed coolant system and new ware pump and it road a lot lot cooler than ever before so I am thinking that has been my problem
