Larger fuel tank for GM SB Extended cab

[wintersun]

I found that with my GM short bed extended cab diesel pickup that no one makes an aftermarket fuel tank to improve on capacity of the stock tank. Aero Tanks in San Bernardino will put them into production but they need a customer's truck to get the necessary measurements. Anyone with such a truck might be able to work out a good deal with Jacob in return for their lending him their truck for a few hours.

Hey Jtrac, have you noticed any problems with the fuel gauge working correctly or any check engine lights? I have heard there are some problems with replacing the existing tank. I think I saw it on one of the Duramax forums.

The only thing that doesn't work properly is the miles to empty. Every thing else works as usual. In almost 2 years I have not had a single problem with the tank other than I have to be careful at the end of a fill up as it will spit some fuel on occasion. Shortening the vent hose helped some but I usually stuff a few paper towels around the fill hole just in case. Looks like I'm going to have to rethink all this as I am close to pulling the trigger on ordering a 2015 GMC dually. I'm trying to decide if I am going to pull the Titan and put the old one back on. Not sure if there is a market for them.

Or Nitto Terra Grappler tires rated at 3750@80 PSI. Hard to understand someone worrying about an extra 140 lbs. with a heavy duty truck. My German Shepard weighs that much and I don't worry when he gets into the truck.

For a camper an in the bed transfer fuel tank is not a viable option. It would also hurt resale value as compare to replacing the stock tank.

I was only hoping someone with a 2011-2014 GM extended cab short bed truck might be in Southern CA and interested in talking to the people at Aero Tanks and nothing more. GM changed the trucks in 2011 so there are only replacement tanks available for 2001-2010 pickups from Titan or Aero.

Maybe he is running Rickson 19.5 rims and tires that size. How else is he not overloading the rear tires? Chris

I saw the statement........all I was saying that Transfer Flow might already have a tank in production.....if somebody needs one without waiting.

The OP is making a statement not posing a question.

Did you check with TransferFlow?

My truck as configured has a payload capacity of 4500 lbs and a fuel tank with an additional 20 gallons of diesel adds only 140 lbs. which is nothing to worry about. Running out of fuel with a diesel, now that is something that I do worry about.

I don't trust in luck but in doing the math and making the necessary modifications and no relying 100% on a stock truck as it is ordered by a dealer from the factory. Now that would be relying on dumb luck.

Titan does not make a tank for the 2011 GM SB Extended cab trucks. I phoned and spoke with their tech support person to confirm this after not finding them for sale anywhere.

I have had a 52 gallon Titan tank on my 2006 2500HD since early 2007. The gauges work perfectly except the "miles remaining" gauge. Since the computer is programmed to think the fuel tank contains 26 gallons, it will read 1/2 the correct amount after the tank switch. That isn't a problem because I can easily, even in my old brain, multiply the miles shown by 2.

There has never been a problem with this tank or any of the gauges. I would buy it again in a second.

I bought a 57 gallon Titan replacement tank for mine about a year and a half ago. Installed it myself.
