26 to 36 gallon tank swap. Whos done it?

Been searching around, and not finding what I need.

Im looking to swap a 36 gallon tank into my 2010 SCREW and ditch the 26 gallon tank, mainly for some extra towing mileage. There is a local scrap yard that has a 2009 4x4 SCREW with the 5.5 foot bed, so I know it will fit, however, I dont want to go through the process of pulling a tank and getting it home only to find it wont work.

Has anyone done this, is it worth the hassle, and has it been documented to work? I found a few discussions talking about doing this with the EB truck, but the fueling system is completely different. I havent found anyone who has done it on a 5.4L based truck.

I live in a rural No. Calif. where gas is $4.15+, but just over the border in Ore. it's $3.59+. I'm loving that big tank. The only problem is that the guage goes haywire on hills when you get down to ~100 mi. on the guage, especially downhill. Saves me ~$15 each tank. When pulling a trailer, it is doubly welcome. In my case it wouldn't take long before it pays for the change.
