A few couple months ago I decided to find out the stock weight of the truck and take it to the track to get some baseline numbers. I had the truck weighed on a supposedly very accurate scale. I confirmed that its atleast close because it dropped in weight consistant with what I weight when I got out. The shocking thing to me is the only mods that the truck had were from the previous owner. 20" Chrome rims, full sound system. I fully expected the truck to be 5000-5200 pounds. I was shocked when I saw the printout. 4570# with heavy rims, spare tire, full sound system, towing package. Is this the norm? I took it to the track the same day and my best run was a 15.78 @89 ish mph. No weight reduction completely stock. I'm just wondering if this is normal. Espicially the weight consider any mods the truck has should have just added weight. I raced a friend with a slightly modded 2007 5.3 and got him pretty bad every run. We even traded vehicles and he spun bad on the launch allowing me to get out about two trucks on him with him in my truck and he still pulled right back by me in my own truck. I looked up the internet times for this truck and they say 17.1 ish. Then again I've research this forum and some have gotten as much as .5 seconds quicker than me claiming stock with the same setup. ECSB 5.3. I made like 15 passes that night and it just want going any faster but seems to do well for stock. Anyone care to throw their .02 in? I'm mainly doing free mods and hope to find a 4l80e to swap in it with a 3k-3600 converter and spray a 150 shot when I can afford it.

 

when I worked at a construction plant here in town years ago, weighed my 02 ecsb, had a weight of 4500 no sound system, all stock

 

Ya that's about what my 2000 weighs

 

With a STS rear mount, water/Air intercooler, 6.0/4L80E, 2 batteries, and stock 16s my 2000 1500 ECSB 2wd weighed 4700 or 4750? I think 3/4 tank gas.

With my tools, guns, and junk it weighed 5150.

 

My 00 ecsb LT weighs at 5000 without me in it and with a third tank of gas. Thats with the 285/75/16's, with the spare tire pulled out.

 

Sounds like if I pull the spare tire, toe package, sound system, 20" rims and maybe a few other things it might suprise some people. I didn't want an extended cab at first but I'm kinda liking the sleeper effect now that I found out it isn't 5000+ pounds. I expected 5000-5500.

 

are'nt some of those trucks "plastic box's"?

 

Yeah step sides were plastic, and my truck is 4900 with no spare and also with no back seat or exhaust haha.
