Hmm.....my list, as best as I can remember:
A/C sound deadening front sway bar power steering computer 90% of the wiring stereo & speakers rear seats & belts misc. unused brackets I'm sure the Dana 44 is heavier than a stock 10 bolt, as are the beefed up LCAs and the BMR CM torque arm. Stock steel DS replaced with stock LS1 DS. LS1 DS will prolly soon be replaced with aftermarket 3.5" aluminum DS. Aluminum heads over stockers saved quite a bit of weight. 16" crosslace wheels & tires are a bit lighter than the stock 15" steel wheels and tires. That's all I can think of at the moment. - Justin |
Nothing has been removed....only has been added to that I can think of.
