Why is dropping the tank such a pain in the butt? haha i have to drop the tank to correct a few things i screwed up during my AD install haha oh well the fun begins again this weekend.

 

It's simple stuff. Here ya go https://www.dieselbombers.com/24-val...-easy-way.html

 

lift the bed its a lot faster and easier

 

X2 on removing the box. I've done it both ways, and I'll never drop a tank again. 2 guys, 4 beers, and 35 minutes. Just like that the box is off.

 

ha ha yup we dropped a tank once. ive done enough i can have a chevy bed of in 15mins my dodge took me about 30min by myself

 

thanks for the advice guys, if i have another set of hands around the bed may be coming off if not it may be the tie down vesion!

 

i agree with everybody above. Taking the bed off is definately the way to go. You just need a couple of buddies to help you lift it off, or just slide it back enough to get at the top of the tank.

 

Bed off ftw! Done 4 that way and will never drop the tank

 

hhmmmm seems like the vote is to just take off the bed or at least slide it back a little bit, so i will investigate that option and try to round up a few extra pairs of hands!

 

Dropping the tank is no big deal as you don't have much fuel. I am not sure why people make such a fuss over it. In my case I have ladder racks and a topper as well as a bedliner; so removing the bed is out of the question. I helped a friend remove the bed on his truck once as he didn't want to drop the tank and I found it to be more work personally. Matter of preference I guess...
