Making no promises, as near as I can find, the GVW should be the same.

I agree. The GVW rating isn't driven by the size of the engine in 1/2-ton trucks. The capabilities and limitations are driven by the chassis. The driveline just helps it, or limits it even more.

the GVW stays the same, but the CVGVW goes up
