I'd give a call to your local dealer. They may have the info you need. If not, they can give you a ballpark curb weight for the new ones, which would be close I'm assuming.

I HAVE A 96, 3/4, 4X4, 7.4LTR, AND AT THE DUMP WITH A 1/2 TANK (ABOUT20 GALLONS) AND ME IN THE TRUCK, IT WEIGHS 6200 LBS.

IT IS THE SAME BODY AS YOURS. LOOK AT THE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL AND LOOK FOR "GVW" THAT IS THE WEIGHT ON THE ORIGINALLY-EQUIPPED VEHICLE AND ALL ITEMS ADDED TO IT AFTER IT HAS LEFT THE FACTORY.....NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "GVWR" THAT WILL BE A MUCH HIGHER NUMBER. MY BURB IS RATED GVWR AT 8000-9000. THE BEST WAY IS, TO FIND A SCALE-SUCH AS A DUMP OR TALK A BIG VAN AND STORAGE (BEKINS) AND SEE IF THEY WILL WEIGH YOU.

U can get the exact weight at a truck stop that has scales.

Yep I always goto the local metal recycler and weigh it up for $2.00

Yea the truck stop wanted 8 bucks. I had gone to a trash dump and when I weighed out it was 7100 lbs. that seemed a bit high but maybe that is correct. me and the wife were in it and about 3/4 tank of gas. I know me and the wife and 30 gallons or so don't add up to the difference between me and CARS4567, I'm big but com'on.

My brother's '01 1/2 ton 4x4 suburban weighs 7100lbs as well.
