Sleeper weight?
 
Any one know the weight of an aerodyn mid roof sleeper and if they are removable on a 2003 T-600?

The weight is about 16,000lbs and yes, the sleeper is removable. There are companies that sell kits to turn them into Daycabs.

No 16,000 dry weight not including fuel or the stuff you have in your truck plus you! By the time you get all your stuff in the truck it maybe 16,500 especially if you'll have tools under the bunk!

are you sure?

the old T-800 with basically the same sleeper as the T-600---the whole darn truck was only 17,000 GVW-- that included the engine, trannie, drivetrain, cab and frame.

Yeah your right, I keep forgetting engine and trannies make a difference in truck weight. If I remember correctly a straight 10 is the lighest tranny out there right?

Hmmm....Sorry I can't help you on that man! But if you plan on removing it I know you'll reduce the weight a good bit.
