It mught be a thing with my truck being a 2000, but I am pretty sure that the 96+ model trucks have a standard 22 gallon tank and a optional 24 gallon tank.

had to be after 96 if they did that.
My truck is a 96 and has the optional 22 gallon tank (and that was as big as we could get then). Just a thought, I could be wrong though.

Well, im pretty sure my 2000 has the 22 gal tank, the fuel light comes on and I drive it for a bit. Fill it up with about 16 gals. Does that mean I still have 6 gals in the tank when the low fuel light is on!!??? Jeez, i could drive alot more with the low fuel light on....lol
I get about 220-245 on about 16 gals depending on how i drive it.

I've got a 2000 Quad Cab 3.9 with the 24 gallon tank. I've gone up to around 330 before filling it. I'd say you could get a bit more but I don't like to tempt fate that way.

You may be surprised at how much fuel you actually have left when the needle is on empty. To find out, check your owner's manual for the exact volume of your fuel tank. Then, the next time your needle shows empty, find the nearest gas station and fill 'er up. Subtract the number of gallons it takes to fill your tank from the volume stated in the owner's manual, and you'll know just how much farther you can go when the gauge hits empty.

.....and then when the fuel guage begins to read slightly OFF, then you can run out of fuel because you pushed it toooooo far.
