    Prairie Boy, I couldn't believe it either, but scales don't lie.

    He had that 13000 number in kg's before but now he's edited it. I just did the conversion. But I've got a feeling you might want to reweigh that truck, that's pretty dam light.

    Look online at the richie bros.auctions. they usually take a picture of the door tag which includes weight at time of manufacture. This weight is with minimal fuel.

    My door tag says 16,880 the truck is a 2002 60" sleeper, side exhaust, 120 gallon tanks, 236" wb, Detroit, 13 speed, under hood air cleaner, Eaton diffs.

    Full of fuel, headache rack with 400 feet of chain, two toolbloxes full of gear it is right at 20k. I lost almost 2500# from the Volvo 770.
