You are correct Cripple Rooster, that was the engine I was referring to.
Still Searching, because that engine is fairly common commercially, I doubt the rebuild kits would be that much to keep it going, but I don't have any hard figures. As to putting 10k in the back, technically you would put the vehicle over the GVWR and the GAWR listed on the vehicle. I will edit my earlier post to clear this up.
(If you look at the actual capability of the axles used, you would see that the vehicle would be able to handle the 10k weight, although you are eating into your margin of safety.)
One last thing to keep in mind is also not just what is legal, but what looks legal. I would feel more comfortable pulling a loaded 10k trailer with a vehicle that looks like it can handle it, than one that doesn’t look like it can.
