Agreed. Reflex from the bad valves and heads days. Had to watch to ensure I didn't completely black out/roll heavy coal anytime any throttle pressure over 'normal driving' was applied.

Door panel on the driver's side won't stay on. New pins and grommets don't work. The door closes hard (air pressure trap like a VW) so the inertia causes the panel to separate from the door. I've had the grommets come out of their holes a couple of times. Sometimes the panel will wedge the door...

No issues with gelling/reduced pressure during the years I ran it previously. I drained the water filter approximately every 6 months. In the winter, w/o a heater, I never had any issues. I saw a video from PureFlow about proposals for a fuel heater in development. That was 8 years ago and...

For Reference Sake as there was some discussion on the ‘What did you do….’ thread. Raptor and AirDog pumps are manufactured by PureFlow Technologies. "Since 1990...PureFlow ® Technologies, Jefferson City, MO, and PureFlow® AirDog®, Shelbyville Indiana, have developed Fuel Preporator ® and...

Correction to the above statement about the Raptor: NO FILTER. Apologies.... Didn't catch the mistake intime to edit. You'll have to either trust your OEM Fuel Filter Manager or, if not, add another inline filter. Returning you now to your normal browsing.

Not a Raptor. Same company, Pure Flow AirDog makes them both though. The Raptors have what appears to be a verticle pump and a single filter. Original AirDog and the AirDog II's have what appears to be a horizontal pump and the dual filter setups with the Water Seperator and the Filter...

"Paveltolz says he’s using AN-6 fittings on his Air Dog, though I have yet to see pictures." While you were sleeping on the train reading my lift pump thread....

Back to the train of thought. I noticed that there might be a bit more smoke vs. occasional quick stab puffs. Thinking it could be: A. Lift pump pressure but, injectors deliver what the deliver and there’s been no lack of power the the truck feels happier. B. SoB air filter is restricting...

Talk about derailing a thread…🤣

Test drive complete. Pressure at idle came up and bounces around between 12-14 psi. Never drops below 12 in normal traffic. 10psi min. under HARD acceleration. Depending on who one asks. Stanadyne likes no more than 10 psi so I'll back it off. Truck runs happier though. Doesn't matter if just...

Hope everyone remembered to celebrate their moms yesterday. This morning I did the tidy up stuff, bled the lines of air at the IP and keyed it on. No leaks at any of the connections, or from the pump itself, pressure at 12psi, could hear the fuel returning in the fuel filler pipe. Start up was...

So, by now some of you are thinking, 'Didn't he cover this crap years ago?' Yes, guilty but, it was buried in an very long thread. Since its a re-install with some lessons learned, you with better memory get to suffer. Power to the Pump The harness is straight forward. At least, it is now...

Location Location...As I was saying, Initially, I’d planned to place this set up in the same location as the stock lift pump. In fact, that's the way I remembered it but, with the torsion bars blocking clearances for the filters, I obviously had to adjust things ‘a little more to the left’ and...

On Edit (too late to edit above), here's a better look at the pump mocked up with the provided PureFlow hoses and push locks. Going back to 2013, The main issue with my installation was making the stock mounting hardware work with the 2 ½” deep ‘C’ Frame on the truck. There was/is a need for...

Finally putting the AirDog back on. I've been running an off the O'Reilly's shelf Lift Pump for a few years. My 'Diesel Site' had gone Tango Uniform while on the road coming back up to Utah from AZ. Cross the border, Zero fuel pressure. Fortunately, I was able to do a quick diesel bath swap...
