Thanks

Measure the size of the footprint of a tire (square inches) and multiply that by the tire pressure. Do that with all four tires and take the sum. That's how much your truck weighs.

Been to the OT board lately? Were doing a poll. "would you date her or not?"
Also, have you done any work on your tranny Mark?

Mark is just about right on the money. The GenIII ('97-up)RC weighs 3759, and a comparable GenII ('91-'96)was 300 pounds lighter. A 3.9 was a 5.2 with two cylinders cut off. The 4.7 weighs 50lb. less than the 5.2, so considering that, a GenII 5.2 would weigh 3450-3500. That B-block is one heavy motor. As a 440, it weighed 900 pounds. You may have to put an 18-wheeler fifth wheel in the back of the bed to avoid tire spin!

Hey, jharader; you just gave me an idea. Why hasn't someone swapped a 4.7 into a GenII? You talk about a lightweight terror!! 50 less pounds that a 5.2.
