More driving. It spins the tires on the 1-2 shift. Not just a chirp/scratch either. We drove it about 15 miles with some highway. It drives fine other than the spongy brakes. Oil pressure is good, water temp never got over 195 and that's using the OBS V6 radiator and the 5.3 mechanical fan.

I let the boy drive it in the neighborhood. He's scared of it, which is good. He's all in favor of tuning it down, not that it would matter.

Took some metal to the scrapyard and got it weighed, 4200 lbs with me in it and a little over 1/2 tank of gas. Ball park it around 3950 sans driver. These trucks are heavier than I thought.

Wish you were closer, I could use the doors off the parts truck lol.

I would of thought a RCSB 2wd would be around 4500#, maybe a bit more? I was off...

Maybe they're scamming everyone. LOL.

We don't even have all the interior parts back on it, so fully dressed would be a bit heavier.

Per docs at work the 1995 short bed reg cab 5.7L/auto truck GVWR is 6100.

Growing up we were installing ceramic tile in our house and we picked it up from the warehouse on Dad's 88 RCSB. It was literally like a "ton!"

Dad didn't know about GVWR, curb weight, or any of that stuff. Plus, the only other vehicle we had was a station wagon.

The rear looked it was bagged, but she survived .

I assume you're talking Tare weight? I was talking GVWR on mine.
