03' weigh in today

[smartineau]

Got the 03' yesterday and weighed it today. I tried a search but came up with 1956 threads too many to go through, so sorry if this is a repeat.



The truck was empty no people, dogs or paper work, the scales are certified and we were down about 5-6 gallons of fuel.



front axle- 4490lbs, rear tires about 6 inches from touching the scales.



rear axle-3050 lbs, fronts tires just about 6 inches off the scale.



entire truck- 7600 lbs



All my options are listed on the signature.

My 2000 3500QC 4x4 ETC auto with everything but leather. Nothing in it weighed.



Front - 4420

Rear - 2960

Total - 7380



I would think a 6 speed would add 150 lbs more to the truck bring the total to 7530. Looks like the 03's weigh about the same as the 2nd generation trucks.

That means mine should weigh 4tons with me and a full load of fuel.

Wow what do you weigh? Hope you got the snow plow heavy duty springs :-laf

200

7600# + 200# fuel + 200# of me = 8000# or 4Tons



How bigga fella are you?

fireman56,



When I weighed the truck I was 5-6 gallons SHORT of a full tank, that would be less than 50 pounds. To add to my balance, if the tank was totally full.

Sorry had a brain fart when I was typing and thought 7000 lbs instead of 7600 lbs. Big difference.

Dunno about Pit Bull - but folks are always accusing me of being short of a full load - dunno what they are referring to...

 

[Pit Bull]

No I have a full load it's just most of it smells bad.

 

[Fireman]

Oh, I see you were dowm 5-6 gal- not down TO 5-6 gal. Looks like we are all having a hard time on this one. So I'll just throw in the ole' lady and that'll more than make up the difference. And that's all I've got to say about that.

I'm Heavy

guys:



Weighed mine the other day: 9,160 lbs w/ full tank of fuel, tool boxes and me /w the missus.



front axle = 4,830 lbs

rear axle = 4,330 lbs

total = 9,160 lbs



Ordered a 60 gallon toolbox/fuel tank (Christmas Present) to replace Delta main toolbox.



Wonder why I only get 12 to 16 MPG?

When I drove mine off the showroom floor it was a shade under 6700. Now I'm above 7000.
