Talking truck weight?

hey guys i need a little help
can some one give me the weight of my truck? close as possible?
00 ECSB 5.3
bone stock weight, with empty gas tank, no driver or passengers.
im trying to find the power to weight ratio.
my friends always complain because i got a bigger motor than their import cars when i beat them.

so i want to shove some numbers in their face .
aint there a way to subtract something from the GVW? or one of them things off the door?
Thanks alot!!

4200 - 4800lbs not sure if you hace 2 or 4 wheel drive. 00 should be pretty much identical to 01's.

The Mustang dyno says an ex cab 2 wheel drive weighs 5000. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of that thing after my dyno runs though.

If its 2wd its 5000#s cause mine weighs 5285 without me in it and the 4wd stuff weighs ~300#s. Damn ricers will try and find anyway out of looking so bad by getting beat by a truck.

I would say a hair under 5000. My crew cab weighed about 5150 with full street trim and me in it and a half tank of gas. I'm right at 200 pounds.
