Glad to hear this has turned into a worthwhile modification. 
 

I’ve been trying to decide on the S&B 62 gal tank or the Titan 56 gal tank for my soon to arrive 3500. 
 

Either one seems like a great option once you get past the cost. I found a local shop that will do the install, but I’m also considering doing it myself. 
 

Thanks for all your feedback on the upgrade. Much appreciated.

On thing I failed to note in earlier post is the first fill-up warning.  Air gets trapped when the tank is nearly full, pause the pump for a few seconds before topping off or you will get some  fuel blow back!

in my 2015 i had the 57 gallon titan tank and liked it...i considered doing the 56 gallon in my 2020 but I went a different route personally.  for less money i am installing a 45 gallon L shaped tank that hugs my retractable cover canister in the bed of the truck...So now i have 36 plus 45 gallons for a few hundred less dollars...So if fully loaded up i will have onboard 80 gallons of diesel instead of 56 with the titan tank..I know that kills bed space but the retractable cover committed me that way.  I wanted to have a way to secure stuff in my bed of the truck...less crap i have to carry in the cab or the trailer

I've ordered the S&B Filters replacement fuel tank.  It's a 62 gallon tank.  Up until the past day or two, it was about $100 more than Titan.  Today I noticed that the Titan tank is now $20 more than S&B for a smaller tank.

@Major TomAny updates on tank performance? Looking at getting this tank soon. What type of shop did you get to install it?

The tank was installed by a dealer that sells Titan products.  They do diesel repairs and upgrades.  I didn't know this until I visited their shop.  I took it as a good sign that they were very busy; it took them three days to work my job into their schedule.  No problems with the tank other than the blow back on fill-up.  Just slow the pump as you approach full.  Listen and you can hear a chance the fuel and air flow sound as the tank gets near full.  I did not have the blowback problem with the original equipment tank.

Talk to Titan yourself, but I believe they are diesel only tanks.  They have since released a 62 gallon version of this replacment tank.

Has anyone had issues of the fuel guage dropping to empty like they say on the titan website?  Thinking of going this route as well.  Will also be doing a 45 gal aux tank in the bed along with the titan.  S&B voids their warranty if you add an aux tank.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
