got mine down to 3,940 before the awd conversion, now that was race weight but i had 2 full 10# bottles in the truck, but all heat shields, tailgate, spare, jump seat, power seats, air bags, inner fender wells, speakers, and thats all i can remember right now. but now the truck is at full weight nothing missing, a wise freind of mine once told me screw doing all that work for weight reduction, just make more power.

I’m glad people are using the search button, and that’s really good considering how heavy these trucks are. Do you street your truck at all or is it track purpose only now

It's going to be for track purpose only

Fuel System is an A1000 pump and cell. Wiring I ditched was all EVAP, Factory Fuel System, Transmission Harness, Trailer Wiring, Rear 02's, MAF, and ABS Harness. And yes the truck is 2wd.
