stock weight

[Blazer69]

anyone know what the stock weight for my truck is? 96 2 door 4x4 blazer....i think when i went to the track last week it seemed too heavy....

[j894]

Somewhere around 3,700 lbs, might be a little more.
Check your door sticker and you'll be able to figure it out from that.

3700 sounds about right.

[Blazer69]

wow...when i went to the track the scale said mine weighed 4125 without me in it...and i weigh 290 so....not sure where the weight came from

[Sparky2263]

4WD.

I missed that the first time. Extra 400 lbs right there.

[j894]

Still sounds heavy for a 2dr?

I dunno. My 2 door 2WD weighed in at 3450. Yours is a stick, his is an auto, but that's only about 80 lbs difference.

I'd try the scales at the local recycling company. They're state certified.

[Blazer69]

would a quarry scale do? we have lots of quarrys here

[Sparky2263]

If they are used for monetary transactions, yes. If they're simply used to check for overload, accuracy is probably very poor in your weight range. They are prolly accurate in the 20k-60k weight range.

[Blazer69]

well it's time for me to find a good scale then

i checked edmonds.com for my 2000 4dr ls 4 weight and it says 3671lbs. is this right? that's a lot lighter than i expected it would be. and correct me if im wrong curb wt what the auto weighs with no 1 in it? and doesn't gvw an estimated wt of a vehicle with occupants and stuff ? o and i dont remember seeing a curb wt in my door sticker just a gvw and(or) gvwr i think.

[Hammer Head]

yes, yes, & yes.

[12sws27]

yes, yes, & yes.
thx. 3600 lbs aint light ,aint heavy either, IMO. hell its about 400-500 lbs lighter than i thought it was.

[Hammer Head]

[12sws27]

That's about Camaro weight... about.

When I got my Blazer X I'm talking a few weeks old I took it to a local certified scale and brought it with a topped off tank and nothing else in the car not even a CD and she weighed in at 3800 lbs on the nose. She is pretty much fully optioned only things she doesn't have is power seats/steering wheel controls/sunroof/and posi everything else offered for the Xtreme is on her.


I've since shaved a bunch of stuff and most likely got her down to 3500lbs so far.

thats close to what edmonds says 3712,it shows the newer years being heavyer, i wonder y? im just wondering now how accurate edmonds is.

[Hammer Head]

Well, all the airbag sensors add weight, so does all the extra wiring, different CPUs, tons of insulation/sound deadener under the carpet, extra bracing, boxed frames, also a lot more electronics in the newer trucks like p/w, cruise ctrl ..etc, etc.

[firefighter]

What he said.

[12sws27]

only scales i can think of r the dump and truck weigh stations, weigh station seem to me they be the most accurate, but idk

[firefighter]

Go to the DMV and ask them where they would send you to get a car weighed for registration.

[12sws27]

ill try that

[Blazer69]

i will try that as well.....no open quarry scales around here
