OEM fuel tank replacement
Hi guys! I have a 2014 f350 crew cab regular bed Diesel with a 26 gallon fuel tank and would like to put the OEM 37.5 tank. Is this at all possible and if so what is recommended to change other then the fuel tank?

From what I have been reading the Titan 50 gallon it hangs way passed the frame. I didn't want to change the look and didn't what to add that much more weight to the truck..

and if you are worried about ~85 pounds ((50-38) * 7), then you probably have the wrong truck.
I don't think the longbed 38 gal tank will fit. 5 model years and haven't seen anyone show that mod her or anywhere else. certainly won't fit with the DEF tank present.

2inchs isn't bad at all....but I wanted to keep it all OEM. Don't like to much aftermarket stuff. From what I see, the 50 is well made...

I have not see any mileage difference because of the weight.
I typically run my fuel down pretty low. I have a Titan 65 and RS 45 in the bed.
I drive to work low on fuel.
I fill up after work (because of price) and drive home
Adding 90 gallons of fuel (typical) yields no discernible mileage change
BTW, Edison, NJ Rt 1 fuel wars - $2.859 two days ago.

this topic has a list of the instructions for the dealer tech to use (in case they don't know)

some dealers charge for this, others not, some include it when doing other work (oil change...)

the dealer can change the tank size in the computer for you to correct the MTE calculations. Not a customer changeable value.

I got my Titan tank installed by the dealer. Of course they did not know how to set the tank size. I had to print out the instruction from the forum and provide them to the tech. It's nice to see 775 miles to empty. Thanks guys!
