I went to track

[2500HD6.0]

I went to the track and ran a 15.2 and weighted in at 5,995 pounds. Any way the track was covred in fog and alittle wet. I had alot of spinning so I'm hopeing to get back down there and try it in better weather.

I tryed it in four wheel drive once and only ran a 15.9@87 but I was in second before I shifted out of it. I'm not sure where my mind was on that one.

next time I should be breaking into the 14's I'm thinking

mine wt in at 6300#&#39;s and the best time i got with 5#&#39;s of boost was 14.90....14.4 at 8#&#39;s...the trouble is getting these pigs moving off the line....

WOW..... 6300 lb & 5995lb. I never realized the trucks weigh that muck, wow&#33;
I have a customer with a 04 or 05 SS, how much do you think it weighs?
The SS doesn&#39;t have beefed up suspension like your trucks have, right?

My truck weighed 5250 # w/ me in it at SAR.

Someone has got to get the word out to GM to lighten these pig-heavy trucks up somehow&#33; It&#39;s like they don&#39;t know how to make things out of composites or polymers. I guess a lot of it has to do with gov&#39;t mandates for safety equipment like airbags and such.

gotta remember that those are 3/4 ton hd&#39;s as well and mine was 4x4 which added xtra wt as well....

I agree but I still hear people complain about cars and trucks being made out of plastic&#33;

When I worked for a GM dealer as a tech I had to take a frount door off a crew cab truck. Now rember Im a pretty good size boy. It took two of us to carry the door. I couldn&#39;t beleave how freaken heavy that door was. It&#39;s those parts that add up that pig wieght. I don&#39;t know how much each door weight&#39;s but, it would take 2 or 3 of my bumpers to = the weight of that door.

You think GM makes a heavy truck, take any ford of the same style truck and add 500 lbs and on top of that rubber band they call a engine. Now thats a pig.

do most people with 4x4 start out in it or just run in 2 wheel?
