Thanks again for all the great info. I understand that the chart curb weights are going to be way less than the actual truck weight. I have weighed my 2003 2500HD Ext Cab SB 4x4 with the 8.1 gasser and it comes in around 7100#. I tow my 3400RL just fine with it. Since it is impossible to weigh the exact 2008 that I want before I buy, I was trying to get a feel for the difference in going to a Crew cab Duramax instead of a Ext cab. I was comfortable with the 136# difference and I think it would tow better with the longer wheelbase. It just got me concerned when I saw the bigger difference in towing capacity.
