So I don't have to up my GVWR on my registration to be exempt since this truck has a 9200lb GVWR from GM?

I know with the self inspect at 10,0001lbs, you needed to physically raise the registered GVWR (as long as it didn't exceed the manufacturer's rating).
You deal with big trucks right? If you get caught hauling more than you are tagged for, you are in trouble. The inspection wouldn't change because you tagged it lower. Your hd was a tail pipe test before, correct? And its 07 or older?
