Hey Kirk!

LOL!! I used to live in SE Toledo, OH and work in Dearborn, MI. At the time,
that was 133mi round trip. That adds up really fast! Especially when working
6 days a week. I was averaging almost 900mi per week. I'm "down" to around
575 per week now. That's also one of the reasons I bought another Dak...if I
can get another 250K out of this one, that has saved me a bunch of money!

With the weigh station, by using one axle at a time you do not get the
"normal load" of the entire truck. You could get there mathematically if you
know where the center of gravity is (yeah right) and the actual weight. I
guess you'll have to find a bigger and better weigh station ;^P

Cheerios!

I parked it on top the scales at the local weigh station, I had to put the
front wheels on first then the back and then add the two. That is why I
doubt the readings.
BTW: Where the hell have you been driving to get that many miles on
anything?!
