I don't have a 4WD. I have a regular single cab/step side 03 Sierra with the 4.8. Actually my truck is nearly exactly the same as quick02's except I have the electronic throttle body where as he has the old school throttle body.... LOL, that sounds bad doesn't it. Everybody is switching to electronic throttle bodies now.

Note to self, need to get electronic throttle body. How much does the GMC weigh in at? I'm under 3900lbs dry.

I custom ordered mine in the military. Stepside is a lighter composite as are the outside door skins and other pieces. Hood and front are american steel though, or aluminum either way the front is metal. Took an 89 civic head one 2 weeks ago, I still drive my truck to work till I get 200 to fix it, sentra is crushed by now no doubt. My truck is a compromise of a 2002 Trans Am WS.6. Had I known 911 was going to happen 2 weeks later or just hadn't got a vehicle yet I would have had the TA. Truck makes me smile every day so it's doing a great job with room to go, bitch to drive when wet though

My bad Josh. Well, the bed def has something to do with it. My 91' was a stepside with the fiberglass bed and thats prob the only reason it would move. It used to **** me off tho cause I could NEVER launch the damn thing (open diff ) without one legging it.

Chevy112488: Isn't curb weight different from GVW? Mine has the GVW as somewhere around 6000 but Motortrend says 4,000 some odd pounds (Prob closer to 4,500) for curb weight.

My truck weighs a little over 3600 but I have the work truck with manual windows n that hard plastic flooring,no cruise control n have 2 reach over 2 unlock the passenger door which is a bitch doing.
Got rid of the back bumper n got a roll pan but got 20" rims and tonneau cover so I'm not sure how much it weighs exactly.

I hear ya on the doors and windows, I've heard but not really sure but it's "supposed to" save 50lbs in weight. Of course being 5'6 is a bitch reaching over to unlock the door/ roll down the window. What really gets me is people/girls that want to talk to me while I'm driving always try it on the left side! There's quite a few people that think I'm a dick for not rolling down my window to talk to them, if they only knew.....
