Ah c'mon Dave, no way. I would guess about 180, no more than 200. 350 is getting up in the nv5600 range iirc. It can be 'somewhat' easily moved about, but much easier on the back with a helper.

HEAVY!!!!!! its a 2 person job moving it. Or atleast that would make it far less painful. I had to scoot it across the yard about 30 feet by myself. my guess is about the 150-180 mark. I had to lift it back on the trans jack once it was under the truck. Rough!

Not really sure on the weight but I put mine in buy myself 3 times I used a trans jack and a cherry picker to get it off the truck.

I only weigh 140, and I made it down the stairs with it, so that is probably about right.

I had it apart and cleaned already at home in the garage, then reassembled it on the coffee table at my apartment when the shim kit finally arrived..... finding the shim kit was the hardest part of the rebuild.

Believe it or not no. but when she moved in I got rid of the tire stacks for end tables and foot rests

Most days she likes the truck almost as much as I do, and thank God for that.
