Thanks!
That's funny!
I've obviously been so attached to a weight prejudice when staring at the data that the drag component fell into the background.
Ah yes,age,isn't it a wonderful thing!
If the Viking body weren't bonded,I could have remove it and ballasted the chassis of it to the all-up weight and tested for the rolling resistance affect on mpg and downhill behavior for comparison.
It's tough having more than one variable.
And the A2 load cells can't take on a vehicle over 4,400-lbs so I can't test Viking there.Rats!
I appreciate the second set of eyes.
Looks like it may take a village to streamline!
