One time I went under 0 miles left, about 18 miles to see how much was left in the tank when I hit 0 miles left! It was 5 gallons!

I ran mine out 20 miles past "0" once, took 34 gallons at fill up.

Scary though, and terrible on your fuel pump.

I'd rather not, the fuel in the tank is a cooling agent for the fuel pump prolonging it's life, you keep running that low on fuel you WILL be replacing your fuel pump long before it's normal life span.

Did I mention they cost upwards of $300+ ?

I refill when I hit ¼.

Nobody said anything about constantly running that low on fuel...

Just trying to give you some sound professional advice. 1 time is too many.

Gloating about it or trying to glorify damaging your truck is cutting edge stupidity.
