Went across some scales

I had the opportunity to have my truck weighed at a job-site last week. Interesting, as I've never weighed the truck before.

Gross weight - 10, 320lbs

Front axle - 4280lbs

Rear axle - 6140lbs

1996 F-250, 4X4

I do change the front pads a lot

With the upgraded injectors, and the chip, this heavy beast still will run like a bat out of hell. The truck doesn't know anything other than how to haul a heavy load.

I added airbags a few years ago, to help with the heavy load.

They do get heavy, especially after ya load em up with tools and equipment My 01 weighs in at 9600 with an empty bed................course I pack a total of 98 gals of fuel too

Thats a good sized daily load for a 3/4 ton truck. How many miles does the old gal have on her now? Good lookin rig Blair.

The truck has 182,000 miles on her. The machine is a PipePro304, me likem diesels Since I have the only 4X4 that will handle getting into some rough spots, the contractor dispatches me to them. I get paid to play sometimes. That particular mudbath was a blast, but since I don't have a pyrometer, it takes a little common sense to keep the truck within limits.
