What is the payload for a 2006 Dodge 2500 short bed with Cummins
engine?

I've googled until I'm dizzy, and most links take me somewhere that
they want to sell you things, are full of popups, or you have to enter
personal information to continue.

I have gotten from 2150# to 2635#. I am talking about total cargo
carrying capacity. The load in the bed, a tank of gas, two
passengers, and some luggage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can read GVWR, and all those numbers, but have yet
to deduce a firm CCC number.

Anyone know?

Weigh the truck with you, your passenger(s), a full fuel tank and nothing
in the bed.

Subtract that weight from 9900 lbs. and you'll get the total CCC of THAT
truck.

Be advised that you should not be surprised if the Rear GAWR is 10K lbs.
since both the 2500 and the 3500 SWR differ only in the number of spring
leaves.

BTW, my '03.5 HO-CTD long-bed AWD dually had a build weight of 7350 but
the scales usually show it at 8500+. 'Sa good thang it's got a 12K
GVWR...
