Hey guys I know you're tired of hearing this but this is my first thread and I was hoping someone would have some more information on my truck.its a 1989 ram LE 2 wheel drive with a locked up rear end and over drive.my title say its a 150 but I was at the scrap yard the other day and when I was on the scale they asked if it was really a 150 or 250 cuz it weighs 4200 lbs. and I can't find much more info on the LE version of this truck other than it replaced the old royal editions...any more info on this truck??btw it's got a 318 with only 127000 miles and I traded it for a 99 Taurus that needed ALOT

there isn't much difference in weight between a half ton and 3/4 ton so it probably is a half ton.

ti drove across some scales in my 81 once and i think it said my truck only weighed 3800lbs with me in it. there is a lot of differences between a 150 and 250 but most people would not notice them.

what are the differences except the springs, brakes, and axles? I thought there wasn't much difference.

also the 89 may be heavier because of the fuel injection, and all the added computer/ smog weight.
