    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...

    Limited Slip question

    Is the limited slip differential a gear type or is it a clutch pack type?

    Mostly nuts/bolts and maybe one hanger.

    I can't guarantee anything but this is from really old notes I had on part numbers (but I think this is for the 2020 and up models) 57008588AA Big Horn, Laramie, Lone Star, Rebel, Tradesman, 5.7 gas (33 gallon - Quad cab)

    I think the most I've put in is 30 gallons and that was getting close to E but not quite there yet.

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    That really sucks. As long as there are no leaks and it fills properly (doesn't stop accepting fuel before full) you should be fine. But the job is very straightforward and should not have extra hoses (nor should you have to MAKE the original hoses work). I am not surprised though - all the...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    I think it would be worth having the tech install the bracket. It gives you future options. The top bar is installed separately and is where you need it mounted solid to support anything. When the tech installs the 4th gen bracket - it comes with (going from memory) 4 nuts that you drill a...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Sorry, I don't have any pictures and if I were to try the tank is in the way anyway. I put the tank in place and lined up where to install the 4th gen bracket - the placement for that bracket is actually pretty forgiving. The reason you want to weld is because as you describe it won't be a...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    This isn't my write up. I don't remember who provided this, but these are the directions I used to create my third strap setup. I ultimately did mine slightly different, but this is a good base. Below is a sketch of a bracket idea. The last pic provided is the bracket I talk about in the...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    I used the 4th Gen Reinforce Strap. It’s a perfect fit but just not a bolt on replacement. You will still need to weld it in place to the frame rail or be very creative. It was a replacement for 4th gen straps that rusted out. Once in place it creates a mount point (same as factory) for the 5th...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Below are directions for both Windows and for Android from a year ago. I have used the Windows version and it is very accurate. The Android version is copied from elsewhere so I can't speak to it's accuracy but it should be good enough for you to follow and get it done. There could be updates...

    1) First, do you have the items you will need to use AlphaOBD? (You will need an OBD reader that supports Bluetooth, a Security Gateway Bypass module and the AlphaOBD software) OBD Readers - either of these will work as well as others, I went with the OBDLink MX+ OBDLink MX+...

    Then they didn't program anything as it updates immediately.
