Can someone explain this?
Well I guess that everyone checked out of the thread where I posted this because no one seemed to answer it and the thread died shortly there after(unless no one had an answer). So here is to hoping ...

..... I was looking for an explanation from those people on how a truck with less GAWR can have a higher GVWR.
And I rebutted that explanation with more information just like any other convo between two people.
In regards to the frame, my 2500 is formed from the same steel and has the same strength as the 3500 which has a higher GVWR. Everything else on the truck is the same as a 3500 too. So the truck itself can handle more than the 6,500 GAWR of the rear axle to know that it is not the weak link here which makes the "10 ton axle on a 5 ton frame" a moot point.
