Hey everyone, have a 21 HC that has a GVWR of 11,350 (something like that), and I am trying to figure out how to go about getting it down to 10k. I am pretty sure the sticker on the pillar does not even show the GVWR for the truck. I seen the other post talking about it but it appeared they were asking before purchasing. It also mentioned there is no actual difference in the trucks from on rating to the other. I am in VA, and currently getting raped by personal property taxes and registration fees. Everything VA references regarding weights in their rules is "Gross Weight" which you can change with new registration paperwork and is separate from GVWR. I am not sure which weight they are actually using though for registration purposes. I see on the Chevrolet website your can build out the HC with the lowered 10k option. Has anyone been successful lowering the GVWR post purchase? Or been able to get Chevrolet issue a new sticker?

There will be 3 stickers on the door post. There are printed specific to the vehicles VIN.

Tire and loading info.

Trailering information.

And one that has 'Manufactured by' info with s/n and the QR code containing highlights of the installed options. 

 

The GVWR is definitely in the included information.  

 

I have no idea what VA's registration rules are, or if you can 'elect' to register it with a lower GVWR. 

 

 

AFAIK, the only way to get 10,000 GVWR on a 2500 is to order the C7A option.  

There are restrictions on the C7A option

 

For 2021 2500 Silverado:

C7A         Lowered GVWR, 10,000 lbs. (4536 kg), lowers GVWR and significantly decreases towing and/or payload ratings.

 

 On WT-  C*20903, CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953 models require (L8T) 6.6L V8 gas engine. (L5P) Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine is not available on the following models: C*20903, CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953. 

 

On Custom and High Country -  Not available with (YF5) or (NE1) Emissions. 

 

On LT -  C*20903, CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953 models require (L8T) 6.6L V8 gas engine. When ordered with (ZW9) pickup bed delete, includes hard touch instrument panel-top pad. (L5P) Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine is not available on the following models: C*20903, CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953. 

 

On LTZ -  CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953 models require (L8T) 6.6L V8 gas engine. When ordered with (ZW9) pickup bed delete, includes hard touch instrument panel-top pad. (L5P) Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine is not available on the following models: CC20743, CC20753 and CC20953.

your not going to get them to change it once it is built.  Had a truck registered in Va for about 5 months when I was in the Army and got that thing different plates ASAP, as Va is probably the worst state for vehicle ownership.

Pay the man or move, can't change the GVWR unless you come across someone inept.  When I registered mine in Florida they asked the curb weight but being honorable told them they were looking for GVWR.

It’s interesting how different the approaches of the states are. In WA, a newer 2500hd yearly registration is probably well over 500, but my 2021 3500hd renewal a month ago was only $110.

In the Light Rail Transit Authority (RTA) area of the greater Seattle area of WA state 1 ton and larger trucks are not assessed the annual RTA Tax which for newer vehicles can run into many hundreds of $.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
