I’m only 2wd. Wish it was a 4wd, SMH. Crew cab standard bed. 6 speed 3.42 gear. Nitto NT420S 285/50/20. 1st is useless, it’ll spin the first half of 2nd and hooks at about 40 something. Truck weights in at 6100lbs with full tank of gas and me in it.

That just seems really heavy for a 2WD Truck.

 

My 4WD crew cab with like half tank without me in it is 5,500lbs. Add me and all my stuff it's only another 200lbs total. Even if I added a blower and other stuff I'd still be under 5,900lbs full weight with 4WD.

I was thinking the same thing, my CC short bed 5.3 is for sure 5300lbs. Had to have it weighed to get the title. Still have the slip even lol

I’m crew cab standard bed. I carry tools with me to work everyday. Also have a box in the back with straps. Wheels and tires are 89lbs each corner I believe. That’s all I can think of. But I do have scale at work. And I weight it in last week. 6080lbs I believe it was. 6100lbs to make it easy with like 15/16 tank of gas.... I’ll take a picture of it next time I have a full tank of gas and actually remember to get on the scale.

Did the DL8 to DL3 swap.  Got the passenger side done yesterday and the driver side tonight.  Used pgamboa's DIY kit and everything worked great.  Not to bad for $100 used mirrors, $65 for the DIY kit, $70 for the mirror control switch and about 5 hours of my time.  All because I wanted to get the puddle light with the Chevy logo, which I have yet to buy for about another $100.  Oh well, its only money.

My RCSB tips the scale around 4800. Dog and I put it over 5K on the grain scales. 

To much good food, eh?

I’d also look at the CST 4.5” lift, super high quality and yes I OffRoad a lot with zero issues. You can use your favorite shocks too, mine are CST coil overs up front, CST piggyback in rear which if you OffRoad frequent I’d highly recommend adjustable front coil overs. Rears are good with just about any, heck, you can even use Bilstein shocks too, they give a lifetime warranty.
Back to the lift, they’re all pretty good just as long as they don’t widen your track with or turning radius which BDS and other will do unless specified. I’ve had my CST 4.5” for almost 3 years and absolutely LOVE it with Zero complaints.

Everyone’s lift varies, I’m running 33.5” KO2’s on 29x9 plus 1 wheels. The CST allows you to keep your stock wheels and tires.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
