As long as it starts it is picking up gas and should be fine, the fuel level will be off so don't trust the gas gauge.

25 > 50

Many thanks... The garage refereed to resetting the gauges as "flashing". Would a regular Ford service shop do this?

Do you have a diesel or gas? Didn't think the 6.2 was available with a 25 gallon tank. If you have a diesel, you may get more responses asking in the 6.7 section. I don't know if a larger replacement tank is available for us 6.2 owners.

Thanks for the heads up. Yes that's a 6.7D did not know there was a separate section. Hit the "flasher " guy to modify the cpu - works pretty good. Next problem is finding a gas station that does not have a $100 cap on credit card purchase 🤔😂

The tank size only pertains to the Distance to Empty calculations. It does not affect the operation of the truck and you can drive it till you reset the tank size. The dealer can do it or you can buy a Bluetooth or WI-Fi Adapter for the OBDII port and do it yourself with FORScan.

see this thread for more info...

You can get other options to reprogram from this spreadsheet.
