Weight split
Anybody know the ratio of the weight distribution on these trucks. I have the v10 with extended cab and short wife, I mean box. I need to know how much loa is on each axle for tire pressure adjustments.

Not knowing anything exactly, coupled with, most of what may be published could be inaccurate, I would suggest that you find a scale (like at a landfill or truckstop) and determine the actual weight of each axle.

Oh Hi
I have 2001 F250SD V10 4x4 Crew cab short bed and took it to the scales.
4000lbs front
3000 lbs rear
7100 lbs both
Yeah it doesn't add up, probably some scale error.
when unloaded I run 60psi on all four and I rotate the tires every 5K miles.
when loaded (dirt bike, stuff and towing 5500 lb trailer I fill the rears to 10% below max (72 psi)

Great example of why everyone should weigh their truck...
With me and my wife in the cab, full tank of fuel, and 5er hitch in bed this is how our 2001 F350 V10 4x4 Crew cab long bed weighed out:
4320 front axle
3200 rear axle
7520 total
Supposedly a "certified" scale from a Flying-J truck stop.
