Had a Get Together with Big T this evening. He'll spend the night here and continue his sojourn in the morning up to MT. Great to see him again...always educational on multiple topics; not just 6.5s.
Compared a lot of notes, how too's and project plans. He'd driven in the truck when I had the...
Got this as a gift from the spousal unit. Easy install. Takes a little longer than this 1 min video (10 min.).
Works as advertised and that’s about all one can ask for. I was concerned watching another video that the cable might get in the way but, it doesn’t. At least, not on mine. Looks...
Instead of the “T” or guillotine splices, I used 2 to 1 heat shrink butt connectors. Water mist in the engine bay getting in and corroding the T splices concerned me.
Something to consider given the seeing your corrosion on the relay.
That corrosion also confirms I need to change mine to a...
I have both of their harness; Heavy Duty 30817 and the Four-High 30802.
The 30821 Four-High kit has three wires and directs you to splice in to the Hi, Low and DRL circuits at the front of the Core Support but, uses a WeatherPack relay. The 30802 kit splices in to the harness in the engine...
Painless Wiring web site is anything but painless. Vehicle selection stops at 1991...weird.
The harness pictured is NOT the Four High harness. Call to be sure but it looks like the 30821 is the one you need for Four on High.

From the site: "Note...
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...
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...
