Small 5th wheel pin weight?

"Payload" is not the same as "Cargo" with Chevs, at least in 2003.

"Cargo" is with full fuel but maybe not "Payload". My truck GCWR is 9,200 and the CWR and ("T" on the label) is 2,770 (what is allowed in the box) It is a five pax for 150 each for 750 so "Payload" is 750 + 2770 = 3,520 which would be on the stickers that came out a few years later for "cargo and passengers" limit.

However the 2003 brochure says its "Payload" is 3,643.

So maybe the 3643-3520 = 123 is gasoline, but 128 litres must weigh at least twice that.

So it is not altogether clear.

Is that five passengers PLUS driver, or 5 occupants total? If the latter, there is the rest of your fuel.
Also, that "brochure" weight is a typical weight for 2500HDs, not necessarily the exact number for your truck.

Sorry, I fixed that from the GCWR to GVWR at 9200. The truck "seats" 5 people in cab including driver, but the brochure has "seating" standard/optional 6/5, so your eagle eye on that may be the difference in payload there.

The brochure 3,643 is for 2500HD ext cab 2wd gas 8ft box seating 6/5

I think that still makes payload include a full tank of gas. ISTR that "with full tank" definition is in the driver's manual, but I don't have that handy.
