Need to know what size the stock fuel tank is in my 2003 quad swb 4x4. THanks

True size is 38-39 gallons. If you have the vent mod, you can utilize the full capacity. Otherwise, you're looking at about 34 gallons.

Clear as mud?

Go to this link and ask for the build sheet it will tell you exactly what is in your truck based on your vin.

You asked for info on the tank vent kit, I think. AFAIK, the tank vent kit was first put together and marketed by a great guy named Dave Kelley. This is his website.

The diesel Ram fuel tank has an upward bulge at the rear that does not fill with fuel in normal use. Seems to be intended for fuel expansion or some such thing. Dave's vent kit replaces the factory vent with one at the top of the tank's bulge. This allows quick, complete fill. My SB quad '04 tank is factory rated at 34 gallons. I have Dave's vent kit and have personally put in 37 gallons and was NOT empty. Probably close, but not empty. This extra capacity causes problems for the overhead computer with the DTE figure. Mine doesn't move until I've put about 100 miles on a tank. Neither does the fuel level guage. I've had Dave's vent kit on my truck since March of '04. Had no problems with it at all. Installation does require dropping the tank. I had some reservations about doing that, but I'm tool handy although not a pro. I had no problems with the job.

There are other vendors with vent kits now, but I recommend Dave. It was his idea and he was first with 'em. Besides, he is in it as a part timer, not a big business, so I like to recommend him.
