I have it and it on the '08 and am very pleased. Some tips:
  1. Buy the fuel line removal tool
  2. Run as much fuel out of the old tank as possible before you begin.
  3. If possible, beg, borrow, or rent a space with a lift.
  4. Recruit an able-bodied helper.
  5. Read the installation instructions, twice, before starting.
  6. Wipe out the inside of the new tank with a damp cloth, twice.
  7. Be sure that none of the lines are kinked or pinched.
  8. Spray all the hardware with Fluid Film.
  9. Beware that the miles to empty feature on the truck computer is no longer adjustable. Fuel gauge will read full until fuel level is close to original tank levels.
  10. Beware that the first fill will be expensive!
  11. Be sure to adjust cetane booster dosing for new capacity.
Among the best things I have added to the truck.

I,have the 67 gallon tank, but the only thing i would add to this is make sure the you have no bellies in the vent line, route it as high as you can or when you fill the tank it will spit diesel all over.

I've had mine for 88000 miles now. No issues at all. Being able to fill up at cheaper places and travel further, it has paid for itself numerous times over now.

I also have the tank in question and will 2nd everything said above. Only things I can add is that your factory skid plate will obviously not fit anymore, if you have one. This was an issue for me so I purchased the Titan one but it's kind of a POS. If I had to do it again I would take the factory plate to a welder and get it modified. Lastly there are some plastic T's that come with the new tank for the breather lines. I had issues with one of them breaking somehow and then the tank would leak when it was filled to the top. I had to drop the tank half way again and replace it with a brass fitting. I would have done that the first time if I had known. Good luck and I know you'll enjoy the time between fill ups!
