Re: Titan Fuel Tank Usrers
You got an exceptional deal - MSRP on the tanks run 1250. Plus taxes and it is over your installed costs - your installer still around?

The fifty gallon Transferflo doesn't take the place of you spare and I don't think Titan does either.
Are you using the in bed tank or the extra capacity replacement tank? I know Titan does have a tank that takes the place of the spare, think they just came out with it not long ago.

Re: Titan Fuel Tank Usrers
Your dealer is certainly not being fair to you now, unless the shop rate is $150 an hour.
My comments below are with my GMC and Ford experience, your "mileage may vary"
Titan tanks are not cheap. But they are well made and do the job, and once installed is completely transparent as to it's use (see MTE caveat below).
I am on my second Titan now and when I buy my next truck I will be on my third.
Are you handy? With my 06 GMC and my 11 F-350 it took me 2 hours, start to finish, working in my driveway. Of course it helps to be mechanically inclined, but is not necessary. Titan has a very specific procedure that must be followed for installing the sending unit, not a big deal, just a procedure.
After having had two of the skid shields I won't bother with the added expense. Although with my current 65 gallon Ford tank the shield was included.
Because of the size, shipping can get pricey, but that will be with any auxiliary tank.
So, google Titan fuel tanks and look at what the multitude of vendors are selling it for, many include shipping and you won't be paying sales tax.
Might be cost effective for you to get the tank on your own, and bring it to your installer. 2 hours should be a fair price for a well equipped shop, especially since that is the average driveway install.
Reprogramming the PCM for the MTE is a a minimal operation, at least with the Fords. Once they hook up the computer (which they do every time you bring your truck in) it takes less then a minute to rest the tank size.
Resetting the tank size is not something that has to be done. The fuel gauge will work as normal, only the MTE's will be incorrect.

Wow - what a coincidence - I used the same shop back in 2007 to make some changes to a vehicle I was bringing back to import into Canada. Great guys....
