✅ About this video:
In today's video, we are swapping out the fuel tank of our 2020 RAM 3500 DRW Limited. The stock 32 gallon tank is too small for how we like to travel. However, the Titan 55 gallon fuel tank will give us just enough to get where we want to be on travel day. Not having to worry about fuel every two hours while towing an RV is a game changer. RV life can be hectic and stressful, so anytime we can eliminate some of those stresses, we do it! We hope you enjoy this video and can't wait to get our Grand Design RV back! Safe travels!

Congrats guy's. Nice to see you smiling again. Safe travels getting your rig back. I'm going to do the same thing for my truck. Yep I was thinking about it and now I'm doing it.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks! It’s nice to be getting our home back! The tank has been a great addition for sure. I wish I could get the gauge and distance to empty calibrated but I also didn’t have a lot of time to call around. If you find something, let us know! Best part, I didn’t have to put something in the bed of our truck.

[@FindUsCamping]

Can't wait to get our bigger tank. Great video guys!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It’s life changing. Thanks!

[@chapmansus1]

That’s a really nice upgrade on the fuel tank, I’m sure that will help out to get you farther down the road for way more adventures, thank you for sharing your upgrades 🙂

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks so much for watching and always supporting us 😘

[@raising8]

We would love this upgrade! We have looked at transfer tanks but the replacement factory location looks so much nicer!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

That's exactly why we bought this replacement tank. We didn't want to take up bed space with an extra fuel tank back there. We can use that space better with a toolbox. It has been great so far!

[@RaleyCreativeTravel]

Great information and thanks for sharing!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Happy to share our experiences! Thanks for the support! Safe travels!

[@theCrankyYankee]

Ordered my 2021 3500 with a 50 gallon tank. Love the flexibility the larger tank provides.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Would have loved to of done that. Someone else had built our truck and then backed out of the deal. We would have definitely upgraded the fuel capacity. Thanks!

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

We have thought about upgrading our fuel tank to something larger. We would have to double check our payload first. Thanks for showing us how it’s done and talking about how your gauges will be affected with this upgrade.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Yes! Payload is important to consider. I know some people will not fill their tanks completely in order to stay under a certain weight. Thanks so much for watching 🤗

[@1972jeffery]

I put a Titan 66 gallon on my GMC and love it. I have the TSD card and I love that I can get diesel cheaper. This tank has actually saved me money because I can go further distance and have options to get diesel or not. We still stop to stretch our legs but we stop at rest stops which are easier to get in and out.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

YES!!! It was great to be able to stop at a rest area vs having to find a truck stop. Saved us money there too bc we aren’t in the store looking for snacks! It’s a huge difference on travel days! Enjoy and safe travels!

[@mfrain3870]

We got an F-350 dually this year, drove from Boyertown, PA (SE PA) to Scarborough ME (Bayleys RV Resort) and had 100 miles to empty. 2 yrs. ago we did the same trip with an F-350 CCSB SRW and had to stop twice for fuel, you will love that bigger tank. 2021 F-350 DRW 48 gallon tank!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Loving it already! I don’t mind stopping but worrying about fuel every 200 miles or so was getting old. Ford makes a beautiful truck! Safe travels!

[@proceedingonwardinamerica]

Wow that’s great. Now longer drives. I think our Ford came with a 40gal tank and so far so good when we travel more we’ll see plus we got two 5 gal bottles so 50 total. Tell how you liking it

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Loving it! Drove to Indiana on one tank of fuel. 600 miles (not towing). Can get about 450 miles out of it towing which is amazing and gives us a lot more flexibility in where we stop!

[@LetsHeadWherever]

Considering this for our F350. It'd be so nice not to have to worry about fueling on really long travel days 🤩

[@1StrangeAdventure]

YES!!! Loved it on our first long trip! It was well worth the time and money.

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Nice upgrade!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks!

[@bluskyodyssey]

Great to hear your rig is ready to pick up, yeah!!!! And enjoy that bigger fuel tank, nice upgrade, almost twice as big. Now you won't have to stop for gas as often, so double up on that coffee and beef jerky to last you :) Yeah, mad skills! Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

[@1StrangeAdventure]

YES!!! Coffee and jerky… now we are ready to roll! Great to hear from you and hope you guys are doing well! Much love and safe travels! ✌️

[@chrism2042]

I tow a 24' bay boat from NC to the Florida Keys a couple times a year, towing with Ram 3500 crew cab long bed. First trip, once I got into South GA and Florida on 95, the truck stops seemed to be harder to find. Been looking at S&B which offers a 60 gal tank for my truck, that should cut me down to one fuel stop between NC coast and Marathon Fl.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It will definitely cut down on the fuel stops and allows you more flexibility when needing to stop for a break. Thanks!

[@darrylt5300]

When I bought my truck that was the 1st thing I did was put a Titan 62 gallon tank in a 2015 3500HD long bed and my last truck 2006 2500HD Standard bed had a 55 gallon Titan in it best thing ever. with the 3500HD i go 1200 miles when not towing the 5th wheel and around 550 miles towing so I drive to a night spot and un-hitch and go get fuel makes it easier.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Our Titan tank has performed great. It’s awesome being able to travel and not worry about fuel. The 55 gallon is a beast, I can only imagine 62! That must be great! Now we can actually stop at rest areas for lunch and not always worry about finding a truck station. Enjoy those extra miles and stay safe!

[@jdnunnery1082]

Is your dually not an HO high output? When we purchased our 21 dodge dually to pull our 399th it was an HO model. Came with a 50 gallon fuel tank. Love your videos great getting to see someone else doing mods to a 399th. Keep the adventure going!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It is the HO but someone else had built it and backed out of the deal. Wish they would have opted for the 50 but we are good to go now. Thank you for watching and enjoy that RV. Safe travels!

[@jasonrodgers2273]

I just had a custom made 67 Gallon auxiliary tank installed in the back of truck. Having almost 100 gallons of fuel makes towing easier. And I can fill the main tank while driving, if necessary. This installation only ties into the filler neck and not the fuel line on the truck.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

That’s a great tank!

[@SlowMomentum]

I need to get us one for our trucks then we will have 173 gallons Good job

[@1StrangeAdventure]

173 gallons!! Would not want to see that bill! Lol.

[@robv4053]

The TSD card WAS great, and still great for those preferring only big rig stations when towing. Here in the NE, I can find diesel all over cheaper than the truck stops with using the TSD discount. In talking to a stop manager, he believes it's the result of how many fuel cards got into RVers hands. Right now at Loves here if I use the card it just takes it to the price of Pilot/FJ across the road! If I travel 800 feet down the road, Sheetz is $0.11/gallon less than Pilot/FJ and easy to get in and out hitched.

[@w4gle1963]

The TA/Petro's usually have a better discount than any other truckstop.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We just started using the TSD card. With a 45’ fifth wheel, I am cautious as to which parking lots I attempt. I also like the added convenience of being able to pay outside at a truck stop. Otherwise, I have to walk in and waste more time and most likely end up buying something else. Thanks for the info!

[@robv4053]

@@1StrangeAdventure Totally understand! Between our 39-foot Solitude and my 46-foot gooseneck hauler I feel you! If helpful, know Pilot/FJ is converting their locations to be direct credit card pay at the truck pumps, and a large majority in the NE already have. Take care, safe travels, and tell Chris Block your rig repairs better be perfect! If you have not met him, make sure you do before rolling out.

[@coastaldavhawthorne5891]

Some info for you. I pulled a 40ft Carriage, Carriage, built by Carriage in 2008. I use to pull the rig with a 2016 Ram (14,000 GVW) 4:10’s. Pin weight average 4400lbs. Air Safe Hitch and 75 gallon Transfer Flow bed tank with Traxx3 transfer system. Full fuel, 110 gallons, CGW 29,880LBS. Truck with two, 9860lbs. Trailer is the rest. Running in 6th, 63-64 mph 9.0 like yours. Running in 5th 10.1 mpg sometimes a little more. That would be about 64 mph at 2200 rpm. Engine has less load in 5th. 2200 rpm is what it would be if you had 4:30’s in 6th gear. Trucks GVW varies between 14,300 and 14,600 depending on water load. Vertical max load on hitch (5000lbs) still have the Ram, but now tow with a Cat Powered SuperCruizer 650. (14,350lbs fueled) Ram handled the trailer great. It was as good or better in some respect than the Class 6 truck. I’m on the road April through November and stay south of I-10 in the winter at The Great Outdoors in Titusville Florida. So, might see ya on the big road, never know.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you so much for the info! Interesting that you get better MPG in a lower gear. I'll have to try that and see if it makes a difference. Thanks again and safe travels!

[@texasproud3332]

Good video y’all it seems logical that titan sells these tanks they should know of a way to calibrate yor gas tank like you said Ford does so dodge should work off the same premise

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You would think that is the case but I haven’t been able to find it yet. 3/4 of a tank is now my 1/2 tank. I’ve just been tracking miles.

[@jasonbergeron6347]

Interesting Dodge OEM for 3500 series DRW only installed a 30g tank. That's what my 09 F250 had on it stock OEM. Now we have a '17 F350 King Ranch DRW and its stock OEM tank is 50g with 48 useable. Glad you got ti swapped out. Enjoy that range. Consider deleting your emissions as well to improve your hp and mpg. We did on our 09 F250 KR and wow.......the performance was killer and my towing mpg's were in the 15gph range. Not towing 18-20 mpg for that 6.4L powerstroke. Personally I can hardly wait to strip the DEF and EGR emissions on this F350 that we have now. We are also adding a 5 tune easy link tuner to it. I'm excited to see how it performs once it's done. Something for y'all to consider since you are traveling full time.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You can change your gallons to correct your DTE with alfaobd.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We will try that… Thanks!!!

[@joemartinez95]

@@1StrangeAdventure Ok, the last word on the fuel gauge problem. I contacted Alexey at AlfaOBD and explained the symptoms I was having with the fuel gauge. He got back to me and had me set the value of "VehConfig3 - Fuel Capacity" to 194.000 liters. That did the trick for the analog gauge reading empty. I then asked if there was a max value for that setting. He got back to me that there is a maximum. 255-36=219 liters. He didn't indicate what the 36 is for, but that accounts for about 9 gallons. 219 is 57.85 gallons, so close enough to the real tank capacity of almost 62 gallons. When I tried the max value, the analog gauge went to zero again. After trying multiple numbers, the largest one is the one Alexey suggested, 194.000. So I guess that's it. That accounts for 51.25 gallons. I ways short of 62, but I will live with that. What other choice do I have?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks for that Joe! At least that gets you a closer reading then what it originally was. We will have to give it a try. Thanks again 🙂

[@joemartinez95]

That info I posted was from the HD Ram website. I used this info to readjust my DTE. Good Luck and stay safe.

[@kevinvoss6193]

I added a titan 50 gallon in bed tank on my 2017 Ram, so now I have 80 gallon capacity :)

[@1StrangeAdventure]

80 gallons would be awesome! Going from 32 to 55 has been a night and day difference while towing!

[@bishopgeorge1333]

You know I was thinking about putting a 50 gallons on mines if I don't get a dually, the one I'm suppose to go and test drive have a 50 gals tank on it but I will see when we get back home, we are one our camping trip.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It’s a huge difference. If you can get one with it, you don’t have to worry about your gauges being off. That’s the best option but the aftermarket wasn’t difficult either. Game changer for us on travel days! Let us know what you get! Happy shopping!

Glad our 50 gallon is only going to cost us $295. factory installed. But ordering our 2022 Ram 3500 with the tank from the factory.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

I wish we would have gotten it from the factory but we didn't build our truck. Someone else did and then backed out of the deal which gave us a great opportunity. 2022 RAMs are great! Good luck with the purchase!

[@benc.7446]

Alpha OBD program does allow you to change the tank size. Sheep app but does not work on IOS. That program lets you change, add or delete a lot of things on the Rams. You will likely need a bypass for it to work on your truck. All in for the app, the Bluetooth dongle for the OBD II port and the bypass you will likely be in for about $150-$200 but once you have it you can do so many other things on your truck instead of having to go to the dealer.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

So the Tank read FULL even tho you used 25 gallons and then when you get down to 32 gallons it starts to read right??? that's OK as long as the needle never sticks. But "L" with 55 gallons you are good for a day of driving.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It's a little weird. It's like I added another quarter dot past full. The needle will stay on full for about 200 miles. I have calculated that based on the way it moves and the miles I get, the 3/4 dot is my new half a tank...LOL. I'm going to work on getting the computer reset, but knowing the mileage is working for now. Definitely enjoying the bigger tank!

[@terry4183]

WARNING THESE BURP!! I have one of these installed on my 2500 HD GMC Sierra, when you are filling it will burp or backflow diesel if your not paying attention. Just fyi it works great but wanted to warn folks. I get 12 to 15 when towing a 12k toy hauler so this has extended my range out to 500 miles comfortably. It also fits in the stock location so you don't lose bed space. Also disconnect the negative terminals then drive to empty then fill full then drive to empty. You have to do this at least twice to calibrate it. Titan does not tell you this for some reason. But the computer will adjust if done properly. DON'T DO THIS INSTALL BEFORE A TRIP CALIBRATE WHEN LOCAL SO YOUR NOT CAUSING COMPLICATIONS TO YOUR COMPUTER/ECM. I learned that the hard way.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hello. We will definitely keep an eye on it! I haven't had it burp or back flow on us yet, thankfully! I'll have to look up the suggestion and see if it is applicable to RAM. Not sure why, but RAM decided they wanted to be more complicated than the other trucks. I appreciate the info!
