GVW is 7200 lbs . what is going to wear out if I drive it loaded to 7300lbs? 1500 express AWD, 2004 ,5.3 motor, 4l60e trans, 3/4 ton rated tires, 95000 miles, used for HVAC service van. will the rear axel and front AWD axel hub bearings handel this overload?

 

Hi jjmoore. Hauling 7300lbs is not going to be any different from hauling 7200. Of course, with that much load, everything will wear down quicker. Bearings, joints, transmission, suspension, you name it.

On a different topic, I've been looking for an AWD owner. I would really appreciate if you could offer some information in my post here: https://chevroletforum.com/forum/express-savana-g-series-vans-30/technical-information-32754/
