    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Remember the fuel pump and level unit is identical. The tank is basically identical in height and shape except it’s just extended. On the programming side they have the same fuel empty and fuel marks. So when you elongate the tank you going to end up with more fuel even when the level unit...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Yes. Biggest ticket item that wouldn’t be needed would be the fuel pump assembly. That runs like $600 at the dealer depending on discounts. As mentioned in this thread, going from 26 to 33 you can reuse your fuel pump assembly. 23 to 33 you need a new one as it’s not compatible.

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    The bypass can be any bypass. Doesn’t need to be a specific one. Here is an example of one. https://www.infotainment.com/products/fca-security-gateway-module-bypass It plugs into two plugs on the top left of your OBDII port on the drivers side wall. There is a box there that two plugs must be...

    For me I use 13-17 for my Ram 2019. The other ones work but many things will be missing. The other person who posted (where you got it from) this could’ve had that mode year range. Try the 13-17 PowerNet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which Body Control are you selecting? Because you have to select the one that says for years 13-17. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    33-gallon tank found for $150. Worth it?

    Good price for sure. I got mine off an IIHS crash tested one too. Just look at the 33gal retrofit thread. Tons of info there towards the last few pages. I’ve done the retrofit myself. Tank is the main part but there a ton of other little parts you will need. More if you coming from a 23gal...

    Looing for Help on Gas Tank upgrade

    I did the tank swap but went from a 26 to 33. It only requires a range to empty modification calibration. That was done easily with AlfaOBD tuner. Another member (Rammit) who I helped out did the 23 to 33 gal swap. He had a lot more parts to buy because the fuel pump is different between 23...

    AlfaOBD

    Yes. All you do is edit the fuel capacity size (it’s in liters). I just moved from a 26 to the 33gal tank and that’s all I had to adjust to make the range to empty value show proper. The fuel pump is the same between the two so didn’t need to adjust any of those values. However for you if you...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Man that is crazy that you didnt see that bracket even on some 26gal based trucks. Mines a Limited, not sure (and wouldnt even understand why) if they are somehow adding brackets on certain models that they know could get a 33gal or not, but that is really crazy what you found that even some...

    Alpha Obd or Taser DT

    Looking at Diablosport site seems to show the Intune comes with a modified PCM which is unlocked. So sounds the same as above. You need the ECU unlocked and they sending one. And don’t see a security bypass included so sounds like you wouldn’t need one

    Alpha Obd or Taser DT

    You right. Wrong terminology used on my part. Yeap only changes BCU stuff. ECU is locked as he mentioned above.

    Alpha Obd or Taser DT

    I put LED in my center high mount brake light which has the two on the end for cargo. I have a Limited and those bulbs didn’t come as LED and I put in LED and have no issue. Reverse lights not sure about as my truck already has them on the limited. But looking at AlfaOBD for my truck I do see...

    Alpha Obd or Taser DT

    Honestly They are not "tuners". These are really just ways to change settings on the ECU that CDJ put in their that apply to multiple models. Tazer is more of an all in one easier to use tool but limited in what it can or cant change. This is what Tazer DT allows you to do...

    Alpha Obd or Taser DT

    AlfaOBD and Tazer are basically ECU modification tools. AlfaOBD is more of a setting changing tool. Security Bypass Module is a module you need to add in order to “bypass” the security gateway these new cars have. These are there so folks easily program the main ECU with third party tools.

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    One more bit of clarification, wouldnt let me add this to the main post with all my details (only lets me add 10 file attachments). This is looking at the frame rail where the fuel lines are. Notice the fuel line/brakeline bracket. When you take out your 26gal, all 4 holes are used, the top...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Well confirmed Range to empty reprogramming worked as expected with AlfaOBD. First time cracking 500miles with a fillup I just did. And that 352 was my actual 26gal trip mileage.

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Alright so heres what has to be done. I dont have pics for everything as I was one man'ing this for the most part except when i needed help to get the 33gal tank up. 8179 picture attached - You need to remove that entire plastic cover that is holding what looks like two metal brake lines, the...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Well old one out. New one in. Here is a teaser of them side by side. I’ll write a more detailed post later. Only took about 2hrs. Dropped the whole tank myself actually.
