how much is to much
 

my dad bought a 02 cummins 1 ton 6 speed dually it has the edge programmer, with that said what kind of weight these things can handle what do you guys load em down to

with good trailer brakes relatively flat terrain and a stout suspension... 30-35k easy enough..

how much is to much
 

More than what you want to be stopped by a cop with.
My 00 dually 5spd has had 20k behind it with no problem and that was pulling some slight hills. 30-35k it could handle easily but like stated some damn good brakes and flat roads

I grossed in at 43,XXX lbs. one day truck trailer and all..we have great elec/hydro brakes that will shut us down.... and i did pull some hills with it u just gotta be careful and watch ur guages.. mag hytech pans is a must... and a clutch helps too...

Anybody tow with 22.5's 6 spd and 15k on the bumper?

freind of mine has an 04 megga cab short bed dually with th 6spd manual 4x4 with some add-ons (im not sure what i think just intake and smarty with a clutch and exhuast but not 100% sure) but hey got stoped on his way through OK with 54,300lbs. that was a serious ticket and i wouldn't suggest pulling that much but they can sure handle more then legal thats for sure :tu:
