So I'm debating the mystery switch install since I'm laid off for the next few....days weeks whatever. Does anyone have a video of actually driving using a mystery switch. Not the install. That actual daily driving on camera. Think that'll help the wife understand when BusterBrown starts leaving packages on the porch.

That's what I was afraid of. Picked up a used airdog. Pump only. I'll need a bracket too. I assume that's something vulcans guys can get me too ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can I wire an airdog 150 into my factory harness?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ever get your brake issues solved?

http://www.genosgarage.com/IN-DASH-GAUGE-INSTALLATION-KIT-SINGLE-99-02/productinfo/GM-DG-01FACE-9902/ Ive got boost, pyro, and fuel pressure on pilar, then ordered this from Geon's garage. Pull of dash surround and pull cubby hole on 2nd gens. Needs a bit of dremel work to open up for some gauges. I'm putting the tranny temp in there so I can put the wife in charge of monitoring that one on the towing runs. I'll actually put an angle collar for better viewing. Not certain its worth, the couple bucks, but when ordering and knowing I didnt have any materials in the shop, worth it to me. I like the way it looks.

Did you install the pre pump filter in the factory 3/8 line?

I'm close to ordering the relocation kit to shift the pump toward tank and all new line, just the guy at Geno's said good idea to bucket test it. Sounds like you put the big line kit on...thinking that myself. I also funnel filled the canister on my initial install .... just seems too much from all I hear. Still think I'm sucking air with the low FP. Just looking for insight and few have my same setup it seems. Nice to hear from a fellow 99 driver.

shoot some pics too

I assume im just not being patient enough. I had the FP send in the out side banjo with a snubber bolt. Guess Im just frustrated I cant see FP on guage. Thanks for the 6-8 bumps input that helps. So either of the 1/8" fits are filtered side? Whats rest of you fuel system like?

So why is it I always have that model that is the "different" one? After putting a new DDRP on the truck in fall and still not having good FP and VP death code, I put out the $ and had new VP put on. Truck runs great...but still ____ poor FP. I was lucky to see 13 at idle and I could pull it to 3 at WOT. Talked to boys at geno's. Sent me new DDRP spring...should increase FP...installed it and it did....but Im still draining to 5 .... so the guys tell me to swap filter and run a bucket test (pull from a fuel can right off the DDRP). I have to be pulling air. I tear it down and I just dont like the idea of the DDRP install.I had put in a draw staw at the tank sometime ago, created a quick clip to use the stock hose toward the DDRP, then cut stock line, put in the DDRP packed can filter, stock line on to the DDRP. then push lock line to the filter canister and stock to the VP.Now my VP doesnt have a shraeder, or I'm too stupid to know what it is....(I want to see another's pic). My filter canister on the 99 is the can from below with 4 ports in to. Banjo ports in and out and 2 plugged 1/8" fittings.letI got it fired once had a huge mess, cuz I could only prime with one of the 1/8" open and fuel shooting everywhere. I have gone thru the cracking injection line at head cracking at VP in, and open any of the ports on top. I go from changing my sending unit to all these ports just to get a reading. I'm lost with a hose in a can....and cant get it primed. I'd love someone to explain what these 4 ports are in top of my canister.Should I crack the inlet to the VP to prime the canister... what am I missing?

Well after installing my gauges and DDRP I finally got the P1688 "dead" code. My gauge still wasnt showing as much pressure as I thought it should have (12-15 idle...I could pull it below 5 with throttle). I'm pulling pressure thru top filter housing from outlet banjo thru a snubber. I assumed I should swap the filter anyhow. Regardless after I got up to temp, the truck stalled. When hot and bumping the starter the lift pump didnt seem to be running. Had no pressure and no start. I pulled code to get the P1688. Can the VP code cause the lift pump to not run (when hot)? After a few hours, I started truck and drove it to the house. Same pressures 12-15 at idle.I'm assuming just get a new VP? Any thoughts on vendor?

thanks for the info I'll try anything Been at this for an hour - - - Updated - - - I can not get this DDRP to prime.... I have half a tank of fuel.... I'm blowing bubbles in the filter housing. I tried to top fill the pump down thru the banjo... I'm getting no where.... Any help....Want to try vaccuum But I dont have a pump to use.... any home remedy ideas... (LOST).

did you check to see there are any bad fuses under hood? Is there there a comm fuse?Also make sure the batteries are up and good clean terminals.... Did this just happen all of the sudden?

so I got a new DDRP-02 installed.... factory style inlet into DDRP, push lock line to top of filter canister. fuel pressure gauge with snubber in top of outlet to banjo to the VP.I bumped starter a few times to fill filter.....only at one point I saw the fuel gauge rise and fall showing pressure. I know it pumped enough to fill the filter one time now NOTHING. what's wrong.... I cant get anything out of the pump.... i popped the banjo on the inlet side of the filter. I havent put the inline pre filter to the tank yet. I'm thinking something is in the line.... or am I not priming right. Can i blow back thru the pump and into the tank???

cant get it running... I ordered the FASS ddrp should be here for weekend. have to see how hard the convert is.

Thanks....thats what I was just thinking too.... I'll try... if nothing I'm ordering the DDRP....! this sucks... see why I cant buy an NV4500 for a conversion. I always like when you hear a "BANG!" and you know something broke - - - Updated - - - Well the top filling the filter housing didnt work. I ordered the DDRP from Geno's. Have to wait and see now.. Thanx for all the input!

I hate spending $$ when I'm not 100% certain, but that what I'm going to do.... DDRP if its still not on back order .... big line as soon as I can. Need to get this running, I think I have to go to Virginia to get a new camper this week.... Fun fun.... Thanks Mike

opened the filter drain, emptied everything..... put the snubber and sender back on top, connected wiring, opened banjo (a lot) on the inj pump line..... cycled starter several times, no fuel... checked drain on filter (nothing flowing)..... guess that means the lift pump is not flowing at all I didn't miss anything right?(checking Geno's for DDRP).... that what you would recommend? or is there anything else to try first?

I read thru that PDF at 2am this morning (again). I'm not sure.... are my pictures and what I'm saying seeming right? Is the schrader valve just frontward of the theInjection Pump banjo bolt in my (first pic above) Totally lost sir!Mike, I'm not too crazy right.... the lift pump running should shoot fuel out of the banjo on the canister (even thru the snubber) right.... and more than a dribble. if I open the drain it seems to keep filling. can the lift pump be running some...to keep filling the filter housing? if I bleed of the filter and try again is that gonna show me anything?

with the dawning of a new day I'm feeling dumber....I have some pics to help represent my stupidity. I went out this morning, pulled sender off of snubber, cleaned off teflon tape (as Mike told me)... thinking I need to prime system as Mike instructed anyhow, I'll bump starter and see whats coming out of snubber (cant hurt I figure)....I get nothing (am I being dumb here)....So I go to the banjo at the pump (back line on side of pump from top of canister where I have snubber installed)I crack it open...nothing...bump starter...open more....just a drop or two. I pull the snubber off completely, bump starter, nothing there .... now I'm expecting maybe not a stream, but some flow (I'm hearing the LP running ...25 seconds)...I'm either not understanding the concept, the names of the parts I'm looking at or the lift pump is spinning..... HELP! I drove the truck to where it is so I didnt think it was completely gone (yet).I'm beyond frustrated. :banghead:

thanks you sir.... I'll get this cummins stuff yet.... I'm comitted to not buying a new one thats for sure. LOL. You know if its not raining, I'm going back out with a flash light now. (True shade-tree style)I was actually afriad the the air bubble could be too high to bleed out at VP cuz of the way the sender is on the top of the canister.

ok so I've been having these not starting when hot issues...as I've posted recently...Mike says put in gauge.... I get the electric installed with my triple pillar pod setup (glowshift)I'm anal and hate the way the wiring is coming out but still I push.Going to do the snubber from Geno's, pull off the banjo (filter up canister setup on mine)...I screw in the snubber, then tread the sender (tef. taped)... wire and ground.Gauges all come up (no other probes hooked yet) bump starter to bring up LP....it cycles (no pressure...nothing)try more,,,, still truck wont start either (several tries) nothing. I didnt bleed anything yet (the darkness came too fast) I did pop the filter drain and it was flowing. did I not install sender right? I'm thinking I have air in sender, but truck should fire. I did a draw straw and ran out of fuel before, never this on a priming tho. I cant see a complete how to to prine this setup anywhere.... lots of words or discussion on it, but I'm a see and learn guy (what did we do before YouTube).

Understand this truck had been running pretty well for about 1-1/2 years when this started to act up. UPDATE: I fired up the truck (not daily driven, maybe weekly) started reved, idled fine. Went in house for awhile, listen, no "burps" that I heard, doing some stuff inside for 20-30 minutes, didnt hear running. Go check it had shut off (stalled out). I cycled key (not to start) no sounds, bumped starter, LP came on to pressurize. Tried to start, fire, stall, again fire stall... runs maybe 2-4 seconds.... (temp was up to operating (190 degrees).... wouldnt start and run. As I kept trying the length of running or firing got worse.So what is it???? VP gone now? Or something stupid? No codes at least no "engine lite". I'll run a code tester when I have time.

Does the older style "original" pacBrakes (98-2000's)have a manufactured port for a pyro probe?

Understood, I've got a set of gauges on the way. Was planning on just putting in the DDRP and seeing what it does. What should I be pushing? I'm showing NO codes as of now.
