First, pin weight is actually 2200 pounds...you forgot to add the weight increase on your front axle.
Second, I imagine you're not the only one that's running over the GVW of their truck, and you'll probably not have a short term problem.
But, every pound adds stress to your truck, reduces fuel mileage, and, if you're stopped and weighed, could lighten your wallet.
To me, GCWR relates to the drive train and the brakes, and GWR relates to the suspension (which includes the tires). Being over by almost 1000 pounds means I'd pay extra attention to suspension maintenance (including tires). Mechanical things are unforgiving, no matter what the salesman or your best friend might say.
