Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

Great research on this. From what I can tell 68527270AB fuel bundle line is for '22 and newer trucks. This is in the description that I see "2022-2025 Ram 1500". However, the other 52030443AC fuel bundle that has been used from the beginning has this description "2019-2024 Ram 1500". So, I wonder what criteria designates on a '22-'24 model to use the newer 68527270AB part number.

Could anyone that has needed 68527270AB due to the sensor identify if there truck is a '22 or newer and if there is anything else you can think of that might suggest why you have the sensor?
I think it's the etorque that gets that. Every one I have seen that didn't have etorque, didn't have the sensor. Each one with the etorque did have the sensor. An the sensor is also a change that came later with '22. If you're wondering if you have it. I used a bore scope to look before I pulled everything down.
 
Paid $215 for a 33gal tank and vapor cannister from my local recycler, going to pick it up early next week. I want to see what lines it ends up coming with before I start ordering other stuff.

There is one thing I am confused about and that is the skid plate, I'm converting from 26 to 33 and I see skid plate 52029964AD in half the parts list and I don't know if I need it. Is the skid plate like an off road option that came on some trucks I don't need, or is it there and I can just reuse the one off the 26gal tank ??? I don't intend on running the third strap as it seems that its redundant from what others have have done the swap have said, and Id like to not spend $400 on a plate I don't need.

I think the skidplate was indeed part of an optional package, and I would assume that they be different from a 26 to a 33 … I do not have any skidplates on my truck, and the swap was uneventful….no skidplate needed….. I did weld in a 3rd strap …. Pretty easy project overall….. 700 mile range is pretty nice!…. Plenty of room underneath, the Aussies make a 50 gallon tank that fits underneath…. That be better yet…..😬

That 50 gallon tank is a $2000 kit
 
For the people needing more info. If you have a 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 4x4 or newer.
Only thing you need from a 26 gallons to a 33
Is just fuel line bundle (52030443AC) and the 33 gallon tank (68408875AF)
Got the Gas tank for $175 new from my dealership and the Fuel line for $67

Old Canister transfers over and the Fuel pump.



Picture is old 26 gallong tank.
Sold it already for $100 so this upgrade was worth it.
Everything connected back where it was supposed to now only thing just need to add later on 3rd tank strap.
