I have weighed at over 12,200 on truck alone which puts me 3600 over GVWR. Once i pulled a D4H 50 miles that had to have me grossing over 35K. Man i wish i had a scale ticket for that one.
So far as max weight man, i really think you can roll heavy like 40K and be safe if YOU GO SLOW!!!!!!
My truck alone weighs 8100lbs. With the gooseneck and tractor/equiptment I average 18,500 but have gone up to 20,000lbs+ without and "funny" stuff going on.
I have a real good friend with a D-max in a 2002 Chevy 3500 truck and he hauls a D6 Cat dozer on occasion.......48,000 total on the scales with a 46' Gooseneck!!!!!!!!:badidea: :badidea: Hope the allison holds up.

I pull a gooseneck (approx 6000lb) with a Bobcat 331 exc. (approx 7400lb), and a Bobcat T300 (approx 9500 lb) both on the deck. Pulls fine and stops quick, as long as the trailer brakes stay connected!
I tipped the scales once in my 05 chevy 2500 with a big load if ceramic roof tiles at 43000lbs. Need to look for the ticket but it seemed ok since the truck had fire-stone ride right and I stopped the load fairly good. That's why I preffer gooseneck trailers. They distribute the weight much better. I had 4:10 in that truck.
My largest with the dodge was today. It's not up there with you guys, but a total weight of 19,850 was plenty for a stock 12V's auto transmission and no trailer brakes (3.54 gears) although next weekend the tranny will no longer be stock
With my V-10 Superduty I pulled a load that I think (it's been a couple years) was around the 24,000 mark all included, but it had 4.30 gears and trailer brakes and the load pulled fine, but it only got 6mpg while pulling it.
