oh ya 15,000 gvw,5,000 GAWR front and 10,000 GAWR rear its also got new HD main and helper springs in it.i scrapped a 90 lumina today that had 2 sets of superduty springs and my old fenders,about 10 gallons over full on oil crossed the scale at 13,000 loaded,9200 empty

so you were a little over weight with the dodge on there, thats if its balanced just right and it didn't look like you had much choice on where it sat.

one of the drawbacks with our "older trucks" is the fact that ext cabs and "suburban" type vehicles have a long wheelbase. where the rear wheel sits, is where it sits. I consider myself lucky to be able to get it on the deck. '99+ f250+ ext cabs just barely make it on the taiboard. nice thing about DOT's rules, is if the load is "safe and secured" it can go down the road. besides, my little short decked truck really shines when threading through traffic and small gararge door openings. ;p

the tranny was rebuilt a few months before i bought it.the truck had 245,000 miles on it when i got it.it now has 307,000 miles on it.ive never even changed the fluid and filter in it yet.im scared to change it cuz it shifts perfectly.
