Huge thread on this with parts lists, write ups, discussion, etc.

Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

Anyone know how feasible swapping gas tanks would be? My mileage thus far has been pretty terrible and I’m kinda regretting not getting the larger gas tank. I would think it could dropped in and replace/recalibrate the fuel level sensor.

What are they charging you for the switch?

I am surprised a dealership would even entertain this idea, as most I know would tell you its a factory-only option, cannot be programmed.

Please provide details! I already have the 33 gallon tank, but many, many others may find this info handy.

I know of at least one member here who has done this. If I remember correctly, the dealership charged around $2k for the swap, but don't hold me to that LOL. He provided a parts list, and I priced everything for around $800 from BAM Wholesale Parts. Haven't decided if I'm doing this or not.

Going from the 23 gal is much more costly from parts POV. It also should be mentioned dealers have recently been notified via bulletin not to perform this mod.

i was told the tank was $360 and they would do the install for $300. Just dropped truck off will let you know.

Hope you don't run into problems if they don't change the pump. Pump is different between 23 and 33 gal.

How did this turn out? Was the pricing correct?

they just told me it wouldn't fit !!!! i found that strange they call me and told me they could do it and the prices. Im disappointed but what can i do. Live with it. I think its crazy that you sell a truck with a 23 gal fuel tank !!! But other than that i love the truck.

It'll fit. They just didn't want to put in the amount of work it would take to do it. The 26 to 33 gallon is relatively simple, the 23 to 33 takes a lot more effort.

This makes no sense….why would everything be so different?

Added expense for consumers? If you look through the thread I linked above you can see a lot of the parts are different.
