When I bought my 2024 LT Trail Boss with the short bed the salesman said it had a 28 gal tank. I asked for the build sheet, which didn’t show any detailed specs nor the gas tank size. Can anyone confirm if the new 2024’s have a larger gas tank?

I received an email from LRA today.  They are willing to ship a tank to me for $1,999 plus $195 in shipping.

Interesting comment. I tried searching this forum before posting initially but found very little on the subject which is why I posted in the first place. I’m curious why you state it was “dismissed as not feasible”. Seems totally feasible to me if a aftermarket company offers a larger fuel tank for the same truck which is diesel powered and whose numbers are a fraction of the gas powered counterparts…. What am I missing Bikerjon? Who wouldn’t want the ability to go 600+ miles between fuel stops as opposed 380 or so?

 

 

Sounds great. Maybe you and Elbow joe can split the shipping.

I'm tempted, but not ready.  190L = 50 gallons.  That's 750 miles capacity at 15mpg and 1,000 miles at 20mpg.  I've seen over 20 mpg on some trips.  Looking at pics the aluminum driveshaft seems very close to the gas tank.  Might be a good idea to spend another $2k to get the steel driveshaft.  Now the only other question that needs to be answered is how to recalibrate the fuel gauge so it shows correctly.

Just a thought.... I see people selling 2500 fuel tanks on ebay... Couldn't you just swap in the 36 gal tank? 

Would it fit?  Pics on Ebay show a tank that appears to be much taller.  If it did fit the cost difference would be much more effective versus the 50 gallon tank from Australia.  The difference is only $200 after you sell your stock tank, plus shipping charges.  Still, my previous question wasn't answered and is still just as applicable to this scenario.  Would the truck's computer function properly?  Now I'm asking a new question along with the previous one.  Would the fuel pump for the 1500 fit in the 36 gallon tank, or would the fuel pump for the 36 gallon tank work with our truck?

A little research tonight revealed the fuel guage measurements on the stock sending unit is analog.  When it comes to the amount of fuel in the tank as a fraction it'll read correctly on the dial in the dash.  As for distance, I'm still unsure.  I assume the computer programming contains a simple mathematical equation utilizing the fuel tank capacity in it.  Reprogramming would only mean changing the fuel tank capacity number for a correct range readout.  I haven't looked into the dimensions of tank, specifically depth, so I don't know yet if the stock sending unit will function when the fuel level gets low.  I'm only looking into this here and there and only curious at this point.  A larger fuel tank is not a high priority for me right now.  If anybody else is looking into this and gets some answers it would be appreciated if they posted that info.

I have a few fills at over 700 miles, and lots at over 600 miles - '23 3.0L crewcab/4wd/6.5ft 

It range is a serious issue, the 3.0L is your friend. 

Fwiw, I got about 20-21 doing same job with a '16 5.3 crew/4wd/6.5ft

I have a 2019 RST with a 5.3 V8 gas. The fuel tank is 24 gallons. The fuel fill was clearly made for a diesel as it has a fill hole and a big open space for a def tank in front of the gas tank. I hate having to stop every 1.5-2 hours to fill up when I’m towing my camper knowing that there’s plenty of space for a tank with much greater capacity.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
