Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

[Jesusisgod]

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.

New here. Would that hold true if starting with the 23 gallon original?

No sir. 23 gallon will need at least the fuel pump and vapor canister is smaller so u will need new one

Why do you say 2022 or newer?

Why do you say 2022 or newer?

Why do you say 2022 or newer?

Because after doing 4 Ram 1500 gas Tank upgrades on 2022+ all have done has been the same 2x 2022 2x2023 and an the 2021 being different.
2022 and 2023 didn’t need new canister or fuel lines. The 2021 we worked needed new evap canister, new fuel vapor lines for it and the fuel lines plus the fuel tank.
