1500 vs 2500 Frame weight

Has anyone weighed a 1500 and a 2500 2nd gen bare frame to see the weight difference? I was looking at my 1500 a couple days ago and noticed some differences on them. We had a rule change in the class I was palnning on running that doesnt allow backhalfs anymore.

take the weight of a half ton truck

then the weight of a 2500 truck

subtract the weight different with the diesel, and the axles, then that will give a difference

well my first post was not being a d*ck

but since that isnt good enough, i doubt that anyone has taken a 1/2 ton down to bare frame and said "hey maybe ill weigh it" then did the same with a 2500......

so i would just take the difference and call it close enough

Don't you have some stickers to cut, or maybe a union meeting to attend?

You two need to get the sand out of your vag. Your best bet is going onto a site like dodge truck world and asking, I am sure that someone over there has had a 1500 down to the chassie.

You need to polish your skills there mr kiesel, if you resort to gay jokes this quick, your insult repertoire is seriously lacking.

No sand in my vag Travis...just bored. I would also agree that dodge truck world would be the best bet.

I'll check out the other site out. I was hoping one of the racers had looked into this before. If someone has weighed a 2500 someone called me with a 1500 thats being stripped down soon.
