My bro said that on the import forum he visits (where everything is wildly exaggerated and performance stickers on your window add horse power) that 10 pounds will shave .25 off a 1/4 mile run.

The majority of things on the list don't weigh that much by themselves, but all added up together, makes a difference. ...But since my truck is really just a daily driver with tow duties, I'm not going to do it.
It's not always about the weight difference of one part, but many parts collectively.

Honestly, does it really matter if we're drivin a hummingbird or a elephant? Long as we enjoy it, it doesn't matter. I don't need the fastest, lightest, latest wizbang gadget. I don't care about trends, if it's played out, long as it suits me, that's it. For those that like to modify/ personalize their rides, GM or any manfacturer provides a canvas w/. which to build on. Sometimes it takes a little or a lot, to get where u want it to be. My ride is a work in progress as many of you have. I will say this, when all is said & done, it will surprise a few that say trucks can't.

I really think a lot of you are missing the point of this thread. I don't care to know how much you love trucks, or if you even care how heavy it is. That's great, but I really want to know why some scales are reading way high and some way low and are both supposedly "Certified". How are they certified? For what weights are they certified? Is using a scale that is certified to weigh 80,000 lb semi trucks accurate with a 4-5,000 lb truck?
And 10-15 little things that weigh 5 to 10 lbs a peice can still only be 150lbs max, so I'm not buying the "add up all the little things" theory. I have a huge underseat sub box that barely even weighs 50 lbs probably, as well as 2 amps on the back wall. They aren't that heavy.
