For a 2006"......Ext. Cab.....2500 3/4 Ton......4WD.....Long Bed with a 8.1 Liter is the Following,
With....3.73 Gears
Max Trailer Rating..........................13,400lbs
Gross Combined Weight Rating......20,000lbs

With....4.10 Gears,
Max Trailer Rating.........................15,400 lbs
Gross Combined Weight Rating.....22,000 lbs

The above information is the 2007" Silverado Owners Manual.......yes its One year later, but it should be the same for a 2006" all items being equal......Hope this helps....you out.
