I removed the concrete weight from my tug today.
They pour it in the assembled truck, so there is no easy way to lift it out without removing the rear body.
I calculated the weight based on the dimensions. My best guess is it weighs 1700-1800 lbs(just the concrete).
I hear a creaking...

On most CUCVs, in is on top, and out is on the bottom.
To test, you can do a no load test by energizing it(closing the relay) and measure the resistance. You want little to no resistance.
To do a Load test, do the same but with it wired into the system. Measure the voltage in and out of the relay. Any drop indicates bad.
