    Mostly nuts/bolts and maybe one hanger.

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    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)

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    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...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    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.

    UConnect does not update Weather Map

    That's great. The update should be free and it is disgusting that they only way it was distributed was via map updates. Are you able to provide the link (in case someone else needs it)?

    UConnect does not update Weather Map

    It was included with a purchased map update (system updates plus map updates).

    UConnect does not update Weather Map

    I finally got an update for my 2020 Limited last fall. It fixed my weather issues. But it took away the ability to speak an address to search for on the map

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    If you have a 5.7L Crew Cab with a 26 gallon thank then yes it should be the parts you need. Some of them may have superceded by now so for example a part ending in AB may now be AC or AD or ??? I have another post (after the one you quoted above) that shows pictures of the vapor tube. You...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    I would recommend referring back to post numbers 489 and 491 in this thread. I suspect you need part number 57008597AA which would be about 6 inches longer than the 68307831AB vapor tube. Be sure and look at the right side of the vapor tube in the pictures and compare them to your original...

    Official Maximum Steel Thread

    Finally added the pinstripes I wanted (unfortunately the pin striping doesn't show up well on this page - much better in person). I also added black lettering to the "LIMITED" in the chrome strip.

    UConnect does not update Weather Map

    Is that a feature of UC5 only? I wasn't aware I could connect my truck's UC4 to my mobile phone hotspot or my house's wifi.
