For the city water inlet, I take the screen off, and depress the center. This allows the pressure holding water there to run out. You can also do this while pumping, but there will be more pressure.

You are indeed correct on the 6sp and 3.42 axle. It provides a great match.

As for GCWR, I believe that you can go to 100% without issue. It has that rating for warranty and performance.
