Does anyone know the weight on the front axle and rear axle of a v10 crew cab long bed, or short bed. I need to tell national for my springs.

I don't have individual axle weights, but total for my V10 CC 2WD full of fuel but otherwise empty = 6300 lbs.

When you get this info please post it here. I am interested in what you find out.

The tag says 8800 dry, so I figure wet with 4 guys in it should be about 10000 and 60% on the front axle = 6000 ft and 4000 rr. Maybe it's 65% on the front.

On a 250, 8800 lbs should be the GVWR - what it can be max when loaded, not what it weighs empty. I suspect it's a bit less than 8800 lbs empty, otherwise you wouldn't have any cargo capacity.

The only real way to know for sure is to go weigh it. Gravel yards, truckstops and some feed stores have scales that can give you the individual axle weights. When I weighed mine I didn't do each axle individually, just drove the whole truck on the scale. If your truck is torn apart waiting new springs (sounds like it is) you'll have to find someone with a similar configuration to give you thier weight. Mine is 2WD and SWB, but otherwise similar to yours. Figure about 400 lbs for the 4WD, and another 200(?) for the LWB and you're still below 7000 lbs. empty.

Poke around at you local gravel yard - mine will let you weigh for free if you don't need the number certified. Otherwise it's $5.

Here's a link with some similar configurations and their weights, but no one has weighed individual axles that I've seen.

2WD CC short V10:

Truck had me, luggage for 4 for the weekend and 3/4 tank gas.

Scales:
Front-Scale #1 = 3840
Rear-Scale #2 = 2980
Total Gross = 6820

I figure fill-up, add wife and 2 teenages = 7200 total. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Not sure if it helps but my 03 CC DRW 6.0 diesel weighed in at 7660 at the local CAT scales. The fuek tank was a few gallons shy of full.
