Wayne M . I stated a fact and gave a solution . I didn't see anything wrong with what I said. I'm done with this thread

Same thing. Many of my 05’s mods were not worth the hassle, time, or money. Main reason my 18 is basically stock with a few bolt ons.

Ya live and learn.

Care to name a few of your more regrettable mods in order to save folks from doing a few of them?

I wouldn’t say I regret any of them, just not repeating them for how I use the truck. They were all good components and have their place and time. I simply didn’t get out of them what I put into them and thus am not repeating.

As I work through this, I believe this is more an electrical gremlin that decided to exhibit through my AirDog.

The issue is with the gearator in the pump motor block.The seals inside will go bad after time and allow fuel to pass and will blow the fuse out of the line quickly after the pump is trying to run at full draw.On a FASS or AD all you need to do is to look the T-Blocks over well at the weep hole and if the pump is wet or dripping the pump motor is bad and needs replaced.Simple fix,just time consuming if you have it warrantied as you will have to send the pump motor T-Block back and they will warranty it for the original owner,providing the proper warranty paperwork was filed.In My case,I have one pump from each Manufacturer and carry a spare pump T-Block here at home for each to minimize down time.My 200gph FASS has been perfect for now almost 6 years and My AD has never been replaced since 2010.

Also note ALWAYS run your aftermarket fuel systems through a external electrical regulator that handles the heavy electrical draw and use your key on position or a separate toggle switch to turn the pump on and off manually.I run mine so the fuel system can be stopped By Me on a lighted rocker switch as if something goes wrong I want control of shutting down the fuel source.

My electrical guy came by sunday afternoon. He said the harness did look like any other relay equipped harness he had ever seen. Two ground wires and no trigger other than the tan wire from the ECM. We tried repeatedly to make a circuit and nothing worked. I recalled my conversation with Kyle at AirDog. We removed the connection from the ECM and wired a key-on trigger like the original harness. Now the pump blows the fuse instantly whether engine is running or not. Guess I'll be calling Kyle Monday morning.
