"I have weight slips in all my "stuff" half tank of fuel and one body in it7981 it will tip 8k with no problem"
I posted this above, went back to my notes and discovered I was not in the truck and only had 1/8 tank, I weigh 152, so...the fuel would easily put this truck in the 8150 to 8250 range. The scales I used are certified. It is a 44-gallon tank. Third seat was out of it also, and no gear in it.
Diesel weighs in at 6.9 or 7.1 or…._____ anybody know?

Roughly 7.0 to 7.3 pounds/gallon. Lighter in summer, heavier in winter. The exact weight depends on specific gravity and temperature. Gasoline weighs 6.0 to 6.3 pounds/gallon.

The coefficient of expansion for diesel is 0.00046 per degree F. 44 gallons at 7 pounds per gallon at 50 degrees F would weigh 308.0 pounds. However, at 80 degrees, the fuel volume expands to 44.61 gallons. If you siphon off the extra volume to get back to 44 gallons, that 44 gallons would weigh 303.8 pounds.

I believe that's why airlines buy by weight, not volume.

Spoken to the station attendant: "300 pounds of premium diesel please." Sounds kinda cool, doesn't it?

So I would have needed 38,5 gallons @ 7.0 = 269.5 pounds
The X is over 8100 easy.
It drive and rides like that, pushes a bit going in the corner, if you late brake....

That's why you have to brake early and POWER thru the corner
WORK them sway bars

but that is a gas saving suggestion... you know !

carrying MORE speed thru the corners means you don't have to accelerate as far to get back up to speed

yeah... that's what I'll tell my wife as she grabs the "OH NO" handle and hooks the arm rest ---- teehee !!

Most if not all large moving and storage companies have scales, and they are sometimes in town, check one out and weight it.

FYI....i went in my truck to the weigh station just up the interstate, and after a pretty funny look from Mr. DOT, my truck and 35ft gooseneck weigh 16,320!! when i bought the trailer, they said it weighed a tad over 7k.

550=9100lbs
35ft=7200lbs
