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...
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...
Welcome to The Truck Stop Fastasu.
Yeah, sure sounds like air is entering into the fuel system. Especially if you had to bleed the system and it started and ran fine immediately afterwards. When you bled the system, did you do that at the Filter’s bleed screw or through the T-Valve at the...
Take the pieces you've got to include the intake to a specialty shop like House of Rubber or Hose, Rubber Supply or some such equivalent and see what they may have. I've done that a few times and have come up with ideas for projects in the past. Be it the truck, pressure washer or air compressor...
I used a DEI Turbo blanket on the A-Team Turbo and used their header wrap for the length of the down pipe as well as the cross over pipe. Turbo's like it hot.
3/4" is the outer diameter. Don't know the thread pitch. It could very well be NPT (3/8"?). Had it for years so, yeah, no record or memory. It wouldn't work with the S&[O]B unit which has its own fail design for the CDR connection.
The threads help with a little bite in the intake tube. Used...
I had issues trying to make the stock piece at the end of the CDR tube work with my Heath GenII set up. Subbed in 3/4” double male brass pipe, about 2” long and worked for me for years w/o issues.
Will do on the headlight vid. They are mounted to the core support with all four bolts so it’s simply quality of workmanship with the adjuster assy.
Today I’m just doing a couple small things like a post trip oil change and exchanging the air cleaner set up back to the Heath 1st Gen that S&B...
