No gay fest here, my name isn't John.
Well, why not start out the thread by sayin that?

That said, did u ever think to ask how they're cert'ed at track? Or wherever else u weigh in at? Who'd know better than the people that use em everyday? How's that?

 

The track I weighed mine at is over an hour away and nobody is ever out at the weigh station.

 

Funny u say that. Ever time I've been to the track, it's during the week. And I don't go that often. Only time scales are open is on w/e.

If I went at all during weekend, scales were down the 1 time I went on a Sat.
Guess what, on APR. 7th for T-n-T, I'm goin. It's a Wed.
Test-n-Tune is cool, cause I'm not the fast...yet.

When I weighed mine, I went to a scrapyard, cause I wanted to know what my Snugtop would weigh. Salesman/ owner claims he's weighed em, sticks by 110#.
So I'll weigh again at the same scale. Weighing at different scales may create variance like different dynos.

 

I think if I added in everything I took out when I went to the track, my truck would still weight 4800lbs or less with me in it.

 

my truck is 4640 with me in it at ennis I am 350. three and a half tenths lol. I need to get my big *** on a starvation diet so I can go faster!

 

Even tho I said I'll weigh at that scrapyard for the before & after picture of what my tonneau truly weighs to minimize variance, I eventually plan on using scale at track. I also try to have same amt. of gas too.

I'm thinkin 4700 +/- 100# w/. 1/4 gas, tonneau & me (190). As she sits.
I DD my truck so tonneau is a true reflection of it's weight. I thought of running w/o it next week, but maybe it'd be good to have the weight in back. Now if I could just get 100-300# outta tha front for better wtg. distribution.

I eventually have a few wtg. reduction ideas for truck.

 

If I had a fragile ego, I might think Scott is calling me out.

 

To answer oochevyscotts question, cat scales are generally accurate +- .01%. They can get thrown off requiring maintenance by drivers sliding their trailer tandems and other bs on them, but usually when that is done the scales have on board diagnostics that sense a problem and automatically send a report to CAT for a work order and technician. We have tested the scales at the TA shop that I managed a few years ago many times and even with just 200-350lbs on them they are pretty damn accurate.

Also, I have one of those trucks that are "unusually" heavy I guess but not by that much. 5180lbs with me (260lbs) removed tailgate, removed spare tire and winch, removed speakers and box, half tank of fuel, spray in bedliner, exhuast removed from the y back, c notch, 20's up front, 16in stocker aluminums and 28x10 hoosiers in the rear. So if I put some of the stuff back before racing it could easily gain 300-400lbs and its a 2005 2wd ext cab sb, loaded w/bose/onstar/sunroof/leather/power and heated everything.

 

Mine wieghed 62xx with the blower. Its a ext. cab......Pretty general quote considering factory wieght is a tad over 6k my truck.

Of course I have a Dana 60 rearend with quadrasteer, every power option available and for ref. mine is actually considered a 3/4ton by the state I live in.

 

Ya your rear axle is the main cause for your weight being so high.
