I'd love for you to show me your vehicle weight rating label that states your truck's rear axle is rated at 10,000lbs. That label is all TC cares about. Otherwise I'll stick to the 6084.:)
The label says 6084 GAWR. The truck's axle rating comes from its specs according to GM. I don't have a link handy.
ISTR the 2003s had about 8,600 for the rear axle on a half- ton and it was not "floating" whatever that means. The 3/4 gas has floating 10 something and the 3/4 Diesel and the 1 tons had 11 something axle ratings. I suppose they are all more now since the 2011s came out.
There are also GM weight rating specs for the springs and other components that make up the "axle system" The tires have the lowest weight rating so they set the label's GAWR.
