Well driving home today, I hear some banging going on under the truck. Pulled over and saw one of the gas tank straps snapped. I was lucky that I was real close to my house so I drove it super slow and made it. Anyway, I'm sure its not that hard of a job, but wondering if anyone has done it, and if there are any tips/tricks to make it easier. Also where to buy new ones would help. I have a long bed, and therefore I have the bigger tank, dont know if that matters.

 

I have seen Mopar gas tank straps, new on eBay. Although, I never changed the straps so I know how hard it would be.

 

ratchet strap? Oprah's belt?

 

its the rear strap. I just looked quickly, looks like there are 2 straps, its the aft one.

 

Yeah, the rear strap on mine rusted out, so i need to replace them also. I seen on ebay they had replacements for $14.99 I will go to the dealership and see how much they want them there. Prob like $40 because its a darn dealership...

 

where are you seeing those on ebay for 14.99? The ones I see are all 40-50.

 

rockauto has em for 35, not sure how much shipping

 

So I was able to grab the straps from my dealership for a decent price. Been trying for hours to get the bolt out of the broken one. I hate rust.

 

You and me both man...
