Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Airdog FRRP lift pump

[Jrork]

Okay, I lost (well, not just yet but it's going) factory Carter style liftpump. This one I got from Vulcan about 10,000 miles ago and I'm wondering if any of you have any experiance in the Airdog FRRP setup instead of replacing it with another Carter. The previous Carter lasted for a long time but I'm pretty disappointed in this most recent one failing so early in it's life.



I already have the pump moved back by the tank and the big lines from Vulcan



A carter is $120 plus shipping versus $299 with free shipping. I realize that I could buy 2 carters for the price of the Airdog but let's be honest, they rarely act up in an area that is handy. One time I lost it on the side of I-5 on Laborday while hauling the camper and towing the boat. Most recently, in the mountains, in freezing cold weather when we needed to be on the road headed home. Since this is a 2wd and with the camper on, it's damn near impossible to crawl under there to change it out.



Thanks for any experiance you might have... ... ..... john

I just last week installed a PureFlow FRRP onto a 1998. 5 truck. The truck is bone stock except for Blue Chip Special X VP44. While the fuel pressure did fluctuate some, it never dropped below 14 psi during a test drive at WOT. I installed it using the factory fuel line from the tank to the lift pump, the included 1/2" hose from the lift pump to filter housing, and then the stock line from the filter housing to the VP44. I have also installed 2 Fass DDRPs and the AirDog seems much better (purely my opinion). I also like the fact that it actually has more flow, adjustable pressure, and doesn't have to have a screen or pre-filter.

You won't go wrong using Airdog products. I have used their pumps and they are top of the line IMHO.

No complaints on my AirDog whatsover. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
