Anybody with a 2wd 7.3 truck ever put it on a scale to see what the unloaded weight on the front axle is?

I finally decided to get a gooseneck put in my truck, holy **** they are expensive. Common price was right at 700 installed with the in bed plug. Found out one of my neighbors installs B&W hitches, so I drove over yesterday to get a price quote. Turns out he has a lightly used gooseneck one of his friends pulled out of a 2009 duramax in hopes of putting it in his 13, but they changed the frame rails so it wouldnt fit. As luck would have it, it will fit my 04, so he sold it to me for 200 bucks. so after install and the plug, it is going to cost just 435 dollars. Its getting installed this afternoon.

gooseneck here told me like 500 installed for a new b&w turnover.

I was quoted 550 installed last september here in town, they went up that much in 6 months here

install is easy peasy I have done 3 B&W's obviously the first one was the hardest but you learn a couple tricks. Instructions are easy too
I just found one for my truck for 389 and wiring was 80. Put it in myself in a few hours

Things that will cause mileage to drop on a 7.3 truck? It's an 03 auto 4x4, used to get 16.5, now 12.5 empty. No changes to the truck. No lift, has unknown programmer. Changed the fuel filter and cleaned the cone shaped k&n style filter.
Does it seem louder? Is it slow as balls when you first fire it up? If so does it seem better after you hold the pedal to the floor for 5 or 6 seconds? Depending on what's going on I'd guess either a boost or exhaust leak or somethings up with the exhaust back pressure valve/sensor. I'm guessing no codes?

Not louder and not slow. The engine light has been on for years for some bull**** codes, maybe it got some new ones
clean the bowl and lines out, the factory fuel filters suck. there are screens at each of the lines going in to the head
