Glenn, money pit is something you constantly throw money into.
Buying junk is getting ripped off. =)
The front tank sizes change all the time
I never get more than 18 in my front tank, and I've ran it dry.
*shrugs*
They changed it by a gallon here and there over the years, too hard to keep track.
Dont forget how much pumps foam the fuel, we really are getting ripped when buying fuel a lot of times.
Hm i wonder? =)
They try and tweak the pumps so when you buy X amount of fuel, it starts to cheat you after so many gallons.
Thats my personal thought though.

REGULAR cab trucks came with a 22 gallon poly tank, the only configuration with the larger 22 gallon tank. 2wd, 4wd, 250, 350, didn't matter. If it's a regular cab it had the 22 gallon. And possibly the ext cab short bed, I don't know for sure on that one.
ALL OTHERS were 19 gallon front, and all rears in all trucks were 18 - 19 gallon.
The cross member for the driveshaft carrier bearing cuts the tank short on the longer trucks. I thought about going to a one piece shaft and add the larger front tank, but as of yet the extra 3 gallons hasn't motivated me to do so.
