what a crappy dealer!actually, the guy said if a truck had chrome wheels stock and they changed them to something else it would void the warranty. I just knew that had to be bull crap.

Wait, I see on the post where it is mentioned that it is only for the older gen body style and not the new style? Trying to figure out how much of an issue this missing 3rd strap is as I am ready to pull the trigger on the rest but don't want this to put an end to the install and then I have order all the parts for nothing.Can anyone describe how to use the Reinforce Fuel Strap instead of (or in addition?) to the 3rd mounting strap? My 2020 1500 has the 26 gallon tank and no bracket for the 3rd strap. There is a bolt end sticking out from the underside in the vicinity that I would think the strap would be attached to, but not the bracket welded to the frame?
I didn’t add the third strap as the original two hold the tank very tight. It’s been about 4 months zero issues. I’ll check placement and for any sags when it warms up hereCan anyone describe how to use the Reinforce Fuel Strap instead of (or in addition?) to the 3rd mounting strap?

Which website is that?

I thought the photos were in this thread somewhere. Since they're hosted server side they should still be here somewhere in the thread.
Edit: here Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank and this photo shows the sub frame that some trucks have from the factory for the third strap Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank
Just got back from a road trip from Illinois to northern California and took the southern route back roughly 5500 miles and zero issues. I don’t have the third strap but the first two are really snug. Also the 750ish mile range @22 mpg per full tank is awesome. Comma 3 did 95% the driving thoughThank you for posting the links to those! Did you do the upgrade? Need the third strap added?
Would love to hear from those that have been running for longer than a year without the 3rd strap to see if it is really necessary....

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 Gen third strap. The aftermarket mount you referred to that has to be welded in is backwards from factory. I liked this 4th Gen mount better as it looks factory when done.Post question again in hopes that someone might know:
Has anyone with a new body style ram, no 3rd strap, been able to use the "Reinforce Strap" to be able to attach the 3rd strap? Just hoping to not have to do the welding route with another bracket.
If not, anyone have a low cost option for making a bracket mount?
