john---- i now understand the total difference in weight. what i
do not understand is the front to rear weight. you have a shorter
wheel base than i and your difference front to rear is double. your
differene is 8400 lbs to my 4200 lbs. did you have full water tanks
or something. just has me wondering. ed mcstay, "lonesome dove"
