I wouldn't surprise me if it has a really similar weight to a ZJ. and if the 2 trucks differ in weight by a couple 40" KRTs. Would be a strange coincidence.

put some miles on this unit tonight.  ETC makes alot of noise.  might try to score a new one from work.  also needs brake work.  very weak brakes and severe grinding at low speed stop.  inspection says start with the rear that looks whooped.


4.8 is def not a 6.0    much less power than last truck but still fine!
