Fleet Ford specs shows a F250 7.3 gas 176" wb 2wd crew cab rear axle can weigh 2768 lbs vs the same truck configuration with the 6.7 diesel rear axle weight of 2823 lbs = 55 lb difference. Fords empty axle weight numbers are before added options/packages.
Ram and GM gas vs diesel axle weights will be about the same differences.
