Does anyone know if there a company out there that makes a larger fuel tank replacement for the 2014+ 1500's? Everything I googled was for 2500 Diesels or 2500 Gas trucks.  I wouldn't mind a 35 +/- fuel tank on my truck.  I drive a lot for work and seems like I'm always filling up with 18-20 gallon fill ups.  Lot of the ford guys at work have brand new '18 F150's and they have 34 or 37 gallon tanks. I rather replace my gas tank vs. drive a ford.  But at some point, the ford trucks are offering the right options on the lots...  i'm fighting the good fight.  Need a larger fuel tank.

Subscribed. I'd like to know as well. Filling up twice a week is not fun, and with hurricane season approaching it would be great to have a larger tank.

 

I'm assuming if a larger tank is possible there would need to be a way to reprogram the computer to be able to reestimate the miles to empty.

I dunno if I would be willing to spend the $$ but, yeah it would sure be nice... I also drive a lot for work and personal and I fill up about 2x a week as well... Better than my wife's Malibu - that thing only has a 13 or 14 gallon tank!

My old car had a 18.5 gallon tank and I was getting about 25 mpg combined. Now I have a 26 gallon tank getting 15mpg combined. It's only a 72.5 mile difference between the two, which is one extra day of commute, but I feel like I'm filling up every 3 days instead of every 7. Maybe it's my heavy foot, maybe I have a leak :P

Gasoline is listed as "flammable" and diesel is listed as only "combustible". There is no application for an auxiliary gas tank, (like in the bed) for a gas anything. You can add a bigger integrated tank though. Been there and done all that.

No one makes one for the 2014+ 1500s. You can get a titan aux tank that replaces your spare tire, or some sort of in bed tank. There just isn’t room due to the frame crossmembers.

You may want to check to see if the tank from a 1500 Long Bed will fit a regular bed truck.

I'm looking for a factory replacement fuel tank.  The other option is do a fuel tank with a 12V pump in the bed.  I don't fill-up any equipment at work, so I really don't need a transfer tank in the bed.  I drive mainly city so I'm averaging about 14mpg.  So it's about every 300 miles per fill-up.  Every 4 days.  If I'm towing or doing extra trips/errands it's about every 3 days.  This is one more item the F150 has over the Silverado.  dammit.

Does anybody have any actual pictures of the 34 gal tank from the long beds (GM part # 22772345 )?  Standard bed trucks have gobs of space in front of the 26 gal tank if you relocate the EVAP canister.  There's certainly room for a much bigger (longer) tank under these trucks.  It wouldn't surprise me if the 34 gal tank fit with some modifications.

 

Does anybody have a picture of one so we can compare their shapes?

Sorry to revive this thread, but starting to dig in and do some research myself....

 

GM Part Number 22772345 on GM Parts Direct shows it fits 2014 - 2018 Silverado/Sierra 1500.  It shows all trim options.  I have a 2016 GMC Sierra SLT short box, the SLT doesn't come in a long bed.  Sounds to me this fits all models. 

 

Has anyone given it a shot and got the 34 gallon tank to fit?

You mean the 8ft bed as the long bed, right? My 18 SLT Crew has the 6.5ft bed

I also have the CC standard bed, and would love the larger tank if it just fits.

Anyone figure out if the 34 gallon tank fits in a 6.5 foot box?

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
