S&B 55-Gallon Replacement Fuel Tank for 2006-2024 Dodge/Ram Mega Cab Short Bed

S&B 55-Gallon Replacement Fuel Tank for 2006-2024 Dodge/Ram Mega Cab Short Bed

S&B’s 55-gallon replacement fuel tank is designed to increase fuel capacity for Dodge and Ram Mega Cab short bed trucks from 2006 to 2024. This high-capacity tank replaces the factory 31-gallon fuel tank, nearly doubling the fuel range while maintaining compatibility with the OEM fuel system. Constructed from ¼-inch thick crosslink polyethylene, this tank is built for durability and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

The plug-and-play installation allows for seamless replacement, utilizing the stock mounting location and included straps. The tank fits into the existing space forward of the OEM fuel tank, ensuring a secure fit without compromising ground clearance. While the factory fuel gauge remains functional, the fuel level will stay on full for the first 7-10 gallons before registering normal usage.

Key Features:

• 55-gallon capacity (compared to the factory 31-gallon tank).
• ¼-inch thick crosslink polyethylene construction for durability.
• Direct fit replacement using OEM mounting locations.
• Compatible with factory fuel gauge, with minor adjustments.
• Backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term reliability.

Specifications:

• Vehicle Fitment:
• 2006-2024 Dodge/Ram Mega Cab 2500 & 3500 (5.9L & 6.7L Diesel).
• Tank Dimensions: 74.13” x 15.94” x 23.36”.
• Weight (Dry): 40 lbs.
• Ground Clearance: 4.5” lower than stock.
• Sending Unit: Reuses OEM unit.
• Price: $1,349.00.

Fuel Gauge and Distance to Empty (DTE) Readings:
Even with the increased capacity, the factory fuel gauge remains functional. However, because the system is designed for the stock 31-gallon tank, the DTE will still be calculated based on the original fuel capacity. For example, at 20 MPG, a full 55-gallon tank provides an actual 1,100-mile range, but the truck's computer will display a DTE of approximately 620 miles.

Durability and Performance:
Made from impact-resistant polyethylene, the tank is resistant to corrosion, dents, and leaks. The thick-walled construction ensures long-term durability in harsh environments. Unlike metal tanks, it will not rust or suffer from condensation buildup, reducing potential fuel contamination.

Installation and Compatibility:
The S&B 55-gallon tank is designed for direct installation, eliminating the need for cutting or modifications. It fits in the stock location, maintains compatibility with OE skid plates, and works with the factory fuel pump and sending unit. However, high-flow diesel pumps at truck stops may not allow for automatic shut-off during fueling.

For those looking to extend their range without frequent fuel stops, the S&B 55-Gallon Replacement Fuel Tank offers an efficient, warranty-backed solution with OEM fitment and long-lasting reliability.
