i'm looking into doing a drag truck here in the future and cannot find the weight of the rear axle under the duramax, 300+lbs? Wikipedia says 550lbs but i don't know if i believe that!

If you have weighed one yourself or if you know the link to a credible source by all means post it!:thumb

Fully dressed with hubs and brakes that would seem accurate. But who knows.

I know i can just about pick a bare 11.5 housing up by myself and prefer not to.

roughly the same as a big block chevy engine. Believe me, they are right around 500-550lbs. Hell a Dana30 out of a Jeep is 250 loaded.
A bare housing might fall somewhere around a little north of 300.
