The questions I have is how the ECM determines the amount of fuel used for DEF usage as well and fuel filter change intervals, the DTE is a concern also, but not my primary concern

 

 

 

Truck measures the NOx in the exhaust stream.

Truck injects def to reduce NOx to desired level 

DEF is used whenever it is running, to get the desired reduction in NOx level.

 

Fuel filter change is based of measurement of the restriction of the filter. 

 

Neither cares how much fuel is in tank.

UPDATE:

On the Titan fuel tank.

DTE is twice the DIC readout either for the 22 gallon or 24 gallon tank.

I guess it doesn't automatically update in anyway?

Can you clarify please? Has the DTE changed to >900mi to empty? or does it still read 500ish?

It's gonna depend on the 'recent' fuel economy the vehicle has been getting.

 

I regularly see 700 miles to empty.

Just curious to see how this is still working out for you? Any change in DTE readouts, or is it pretty consistent still? I’m very tempted to upgrade.

The DTE reads normal but the truck's range is twice the read out.

I like the Titan tank, Not towing, I can go from Las Vegas to Amarillo,TX(900miles) before I think of fueling up on the way to Alabama, then stopping at Meridian,MS (TA truck stop) then back to Amarillo,TX and on to home.

Towing a 7 x 12 trailer (@3500lbs ), I get 15 mpg so it doubles the stops for fuel.

When I first installed my Titan 60 gallon tank in my 2022 GMC DuraMax the distance to empty would climb as I drove?  It is imo based on the current MPG the truck is showing.  Now after 7 months of use it does not seem to be doing this, I have a Edge CTS3 and chose fuel level as one of my gagues and the gaguge on the truck and it match pertty close.  :jester:

Has anyone used Titan tank for gas?  Has anyone found a larger replacement for gas?  I can't believe they put these little tanks in trucks.

I have the stock tank and see this every so often. Here's one of the times i actually took a pic of it.  I consistantly get 28-33mpg, and when tank is close to empty or get the fuel low light, i only put in 19-20 gallons tops. 

 

 

 

Has anyone weighed their vehicle before/after the tank was installed or noticed a slight decline on mileage from the added weight?

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
