I didn't see what kind of rig you have. Is it a 2500HD 8.1/A also?

Replace the 2 in 2500HD with a 3 then you won't have to worry about the added weight of the fuel!

Have put 25,000.00 with tank. I love it. My dealer put it in and became a transterflow dealer. JEBar • View posts Willow Springs, NC Senior Member Joined: 10/27/2002 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 07/24/03 07:13am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator After just completing a 5000 mile tow, we have decided to install a 65 gallon transfer flow replacement tank with a filler neck that will accomodate the larger pump nozzles. While there will almost certainly be periodic savings by being able to take advantage of lower prices at a given station, we realize any such savings will never be sufficient to pay for the tank. For me it is a security issue in that we won't have to keep a constant eye out for fueling locations when traveling through unknown country. ...

John Litch • View posts Truckee, CA Senior Member Joined: 07/02/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/24/03 03:22pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had a 45 gal. tank installed and am very happy with it. As far as the tank sitting below the frame, it is not a problem. Ask them to see the test they do to the tanks, it will make you feel safe. I live in a mountain area and go off-road quite a bit with no problems dragging the tank. It sure is nice to fill up and not have to worry about finding fuel when you are out in the boonies. I had it installed at their factory in Chico, CA and the professionalism is remarkable. Good luck! 2006 Chevy HD LBZ Duramax/Allison 2006 Holiday Rambler Savoy 30sks Brushy • View posts Albuquerque, NM, USA Senior Member Joined: 07/14/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 07/24/03 04:39pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks to everyone for your comments.

I have an 03 and have ordered the same tank. You said that the gauge reads correctly. My question is, if you have the 03, do you get the correct readings for the mileage range, etc. ?

I keep a log and calc. my milage from that. I always write my milage on the back of my gas tickets. Then enter it in my log when I finish my trip.
