Does anyone know how much of a difference in weight there is from a single cab long bed, to quad cab short bed in a 05 cummins 2wd?

 

This is for 2006: equipped with Cummins + 48RE

Reg Cab LB 2wd = 6203 lbs

Quad Cab sb 2wd = 6368 lbs

 

Thanks alot! I definately WON'T care about 165 lbs even though I'll be drag racing the truck. I'd rather have the extra room for that little bit of weight.

 

For drag racing I believe that the formula is 1/10 sec. for every 100 lbs.
So if this is going to be a dedicated racer, I would buy the reg. cab long bed and cut the frame and make it a reg. cab short bed...
Best of both worlds

 

I was thinking about that, but it might be a BIG pain in the a$$.....

 

yep, I'd look for a Reg cab short box before I ever got into that. Pretty hard core when you can just buy one already done from the factory. Good luck to ya whatever you decide!
Edit : Now that I think about it ... I don't think I've ever seen a Reg cab short box with a Cummins ... maybe they don't make one so you'ld have to cut it up if that's what you wanted.

 

Yep, the regular cab short boxes are only available in the 1500's, which means no CTD's. Well not yet anyway.

I had one before my Cummins. Rumor has it a V8 Cummins will be available in the 1500 series in 2009 or 2010. There should be one then, but who knows what they'll do. One in 2wd might be nice to hit the track with.
