I cleaned the tank (150K on the odometer) and installed the ITP version of the Hutch (in-tank) mod with new fuel lines in addition to the Harpoon mod.

It is a nice feeling to see the tank level on "F" until 120 miles, even if it just psychological...
I was lucky and there were some members of the MN Chapter present when I did mine. They knew exactly what to do.


I changed the fuel pump in one of our Rams and even with only 1 or 2 gallons left it sure wanted to tip. Those trucks have a 35gallon fuel tank. My transmisison jack made quick work of it though.
