[prmizeski]

just had the recall performed. can anyone tell me where to look to see if this was done. what do these valves actually do? i picked the truck up after hours and the person that handed me the keys was useless. thanks for any help

You mean they actually decided to do something about those open ports? Where is the recall posted?

Matt this is only for the 06's, don't know why though.

Thats odd, wonder what the change is, maybe the 06 fix can be retro fitted to the 03-05's??



I just added some hose and 2 small push on fuel filters.

Just had it done on my 06.



The recall is two approx 6 inch hoses that are fitted on to each valve.



The tech should also check for water in the fuel. If water is found the fuel filter is changed.

There are two of the valves, one on either end (top) of tank, the revision should include a piece of hose on each one that extends to the edge of the tank. I think the hoses should have a 90% ell and run down the side of tank but what do I know. bg

2006 2500 4x4 quad cab short bed, and I have gotten a recall for fuel tank nipples and for antilock brakes, it says Dealer will clean fuel tank and install new fuel filter, as for brakes, something about rears locking up.

I just had my tank out to add the fuel vent mod to it. While it was down I saw the two vents on the top part of the tank. There was some crud around the front vent, lower part of the tank, from sepage of fuel and dirt. I bought 6 feet of 1/4" ID fuel hose and two 1/4" fuel filters. Run the hoses towards the rear of truck and tied the filters to the grap handle at top.



PS: I sure like the David Kelly vent mod. When filling up the tank after the first click the fuel was right there. I had around 2 gallons of fuel in the tank, after the mod I went to fill up and put in 35. 8 gallons. I will know for sure what this vent tank mod did for the overall capasity, with a few more fillups. My guess is 3. 5 gallons plus the 34 gallon tank, should put me at 37. 5 gallons total. This will put my range from 750 miles to a new range of 800 miles on one tank of diesel 23 MPG
