Airdog quality
I put an airdog 100 on my truck in early 2009. Roughly 35,000 miles on it. I haven't had one problem Should I be expecting failure soon? At idle it has 16psi and at wot it drops to 13. Never lower. Luke

Airdog filter changing tips
Thanks for the replies, Where would be a good place to get the valves from ? Did you put the ball valves directly to the pump or did you put them inline with the fuel hose. Thanks again Luke

Airdog filter changing tips
Hello Guru's. I need to change the filter on my airdog 100. The last time I did it I remember losing lots of fuel. What do you guys do ? I was thinking of clamping the hoses. Have any of you ball valves on the hoses to keep from losing fuel ?

Steering Box
My oem has the slop going on. I've read mixed reviews about the borgeson box, the napa box, and don't know much about the redhead box. Point me in the right direction, if I'm going to give up a day of fishing for the swap I do not want to do it again 6 months later.Luke

Steering Wander?
I thought I read that the borgeson boxes were not worth the money as they had problems with them ? Did they get all the wrinkles worked out?Luke

new tires and wheels
No I have not. If I were to try it how much should I tighten it ? Is there a torque value ? or is it an amount of a turn ?

new tires and wheels
That was another reason for the change as well. I just put a new track bar on her and noticed that the steering box has a tad bit of play as well. Any suggestions on a new box ? I heard mixed reviews on the borgeson, so maybe I'll just get a stock box from napa auto parts:shrug:Luke

new tires and wheels
I am finally gonna get rid of my 35's on wide offset wheels. it looks great but I am gonna downsize a bit and get a more common size wheel. I am replacing the 16.5 inch wheels with 17 inchers and putting on 285/70/17 toyo 2 at's. I assume I will get a little better mpg's ?Luke

AirDog Check Ball
I used vise grips on the line from the tank and the line out but, the motion lotion kept coming out of the return line fitting. probably lost 2 gallons even with the hoses clamped off. I'm gonna look into some 90 degree ball valves for the 1/2 inch line. I remember last time I changed the filter it was a similar adventure with the fuel coming out all over the place.

AirDog Check Ball
After reading Mikes thread about the ball getting stuck to the spring I figured I'd check mine today.yep the ball was pushed into the end of the spring bit. back up to 16 at idle and the lowest I could get it to drop to wot was 13.5.What a mess what do you guys do to keep from losing alot of fuel. I clamped the hoses but it still was a diesel bath. Do they make some shut off valves to put in line with the big line hoses??Luke

Terrible luck with Raptor.
I guess I've had my head under a rock. I haven't heard of any AD problems. I have an AD 100that I put on and have not had a problem with it. 3 Years. When did their products start going to s%^t ?and should I be worried about my setup ? :banghead:Luke

CB radio
Thanks for the input fellas. I'm basically looking for a good alternative to a cell phone cause to be honest I don't have one. LOL. But I do want a good radio without the monthly contract of a smart phone. Luke

Explain the vacuum system to me.
2 bolts on the front of the vacume pump to the back of the timing cover and probably another bolt through a bracket on the side of the block that hangs below the vp44. If you look at the posted diagram you can see the 2 bolt holes on the front. The bracket , not shown will be coming off the lower stud on the power steering pump.Luke

Explain the vacuum system to me.
I rebuilt mine a couple months ago. You can get a rebuild kit from geno's garage that will replace the seal that is leaking and everything else you need to do the job. plus a dvd to show you how to do it:thumbup2:. took me about 3 hours. have a helper cause you have to take the ps pump and vacuume as a unit. Luke --- Update to the previous post... FYI on Genos site you will be looking for a gould vacume pump reseal kit. 59 bucks Luke

front brake noise ??
Last weekend while driving my truck I started noticing a weird noise coming from the front end of my truck while nearing a stop sign. Almost like a deep vibration type of noise. I haven't taken anything apart yet but it seems like there is still plenty of pad left:shrug:. It's still doing it and they feel kind of grabby now.Luke
