Pin weight? Chevy 2500hd load capacity?

Ive heard people talking about not exceeding the pin weight and i was wondering what that was. What is the load capacity for a 2005 2500hd duramax.
Thanks

First thing to do is weigh the truck to find out what the truck's laden curb weight (LCW) is. "That's the weight of the truck with driver, passengers, pets, full fuel tank, options, accessories, cargo, 5th wheel hitch, etc."

Maximum allowable loaded pin weight = Truck's GVWR minus Truck's LCW
