The yellow sticker is not a legal sticker. The Federal Safety Compliance Sticker that has your GVWR and GAWR is the only sticker that will stand up in court. So print away if it makes you feel good. Oh yes, your VIN has the class of truck and VIN search has all the same info that's on the Safety Compliance Sticker plus your payload ratings.

Boom - there it is ! I thought it was something like this. Where is this documented by GM ? I would like to have that. It is interesting that the prior generations shared the same components as many of us have mentioned (with a few differences) and now different here. I know a GM engineer and may have to ask him about this.
Thanks, for sharing this.......appreciate it

From what I've read, on the 2021 models, the 2500HD has the 11.5" Ring Gear in both the Gas version and Diesel version. The 3500 has the 11.5" Ring Gear in the gas version and the 12" ring gear in the Diesel version.

If you go about 1/2 the way down on this webpage https://www.gmc.com/trucks/sierra/2500hd-3500hd/sle-slt and click on "2500 Transmissions and Axels" it shows 11.5" for gas and 11.5" for Diesel. If you go 3/4 of the way down for the 3500 it shows 11.5" for gas and 12" for Diesel. This is for the GMC Sierra but I don't think GM would have anything different in the Silverado but stranger things have happened.

Hey Rob,
Nice Combo! I ended up with the 3500HD and yes I think if I ended up with the 2500 would I be rationing the amount of beer I can take!Kevin & Mary Lynn

Hey Kevin, Yeah, we're right up against it. Maybe 200 pounds under payload capacity when all loaded up. We have a rule when packing. Heavy stuff goes in the bunkhouse, light stuff in the front bedroom. I try to keep my Pin weight at no more than 2700 pounds if I'm traveling any kind of distance. I use a sherline scale and if I'm over 2700 I rearrange stuff or leave it behind. At that pin weight I'm right at my GVWR of 11,350. There's a CAT scale an hour from me and I weigh my truck and trailer if going that way. Otherwise I rely on the Sherline which isn't all that accurate but close enough for me. I really wanted a 3500 but they were nowhere to be found when I bought the 2500 and I needed a truck.
