  1. I may have missed it or read it wrong on airdogs site, but the lifetime warranty seemed to be to the original purchaser. I've had this truck for 2 years now. Think I'll just buy a complete new pump to get warranty as I don't plan on selling it. I'm going to call and see if the airdog II has all the same connections as original airdog. If so, I'll go with the updated pump. If not, I'll just replace with what I have to keep it simple.
  2. I can order just the motor assembly? Didn't see that option on airdogs site.
  3. The 20a fuse was popped. Didn't have any so I put in a 15 and it popped instantly. Put in a 30 and pump ran. Only ran it about 10 seconds to verify that the pump wasn't seized. Went and got 20 and 25 amp fuses. 20 amp lasted about 45 seconds. 25 lasted little over a minute and got very hot to the touch. Being that I have been experiencing a slow and continuous drop in pressure over the past few months I'm guessing it's time for a new pump. Also, with the airdog quick connect fittings being on here I'm thinking dropping the tank will probably be less of a fiasco than tipping the bed. Will make it easier to do everything without laying on the tires worrying about the bed falling on me....lol
  4. Well that sucks. Guess I'll siphon what I can and drop the tank. I hate working on gravel. Maybe I'll get a sheet of plywood and mitigate some pain.
  5. Driving home today and my fuel pressure went to zero instantly. Been noticing fluctuations in pressure. Changed FF and WS a month or so ago and had same issue. Going to check it out tomorrow. Have also had an issue with losing pressure at half tank. Think the draw straw may have an issue so I plan on lifting the bed. Is it better to tip it from the cab end, leaving bolts loose in rear or tip it from driver's side leaving bolts loose in passenger side? Don't have help available to fully remove bed and tank was filled 40 miles ago so don't want to remove it.
  6. If you don't have access to welding torches, mapp gas is your next best bet. Can be bought anywhere and will get the metal much hotter than propane. Like was said, get it cherry red hot and try to work the bolt while hot. Rusty bolts in cast iron are never fun. Good luck. Also, don't try to muscle it out, finesse is needed.
  7. $15? My guess is it will outlast your truck. LOL
  8. To go from 40 psi to 15 is a massive drop. Either his turbo ingested something and ate the blades or he has a major leak somewhere, don't you think?
  9. I agree with guy, I suspect rubber brake lines deteriorated inside. I would replace them all.
  10. Build yourself a pressure tester for the turbo system. I think you might find a leak.
  11. I only see a 30lb spring on their site. Anyone ever try one? Does it actually give 30lbs? That's too much. The spring in my unit seems to be getting weaker as time goes by. Stretched it a little and added a washer. Had 18-19lbs steady for awhile. Pressure slowly dropped to 15-16lbs over 8-10 months. Replaced seperator and fuel filters, no change in pressure. Added another washer and pressure is at 17-18lbs but if I drive about 50 miles or so, the pressure gradually drops to around 15. Will drop to 13-14 if I get on it. Hopefully it's just an old spring losing its tension and not the pump slowly dieing. Was just curious about the replacement spring air dog offers.
  12. Directions on the bottle are there for a reason. I'd say the cleaner did it's job and removed something. Hopefully nothing important. As long as you have good pressure, I wouldn't worry too much. Keep a close eye on it for awhile to be sure it doesn't keep falling. You should be ok.
  13. I got an email saying my account has been approved, but the site won't let me into my profile. I love technology....lol Went to the store section of the site to see what Cummins stuff they offer. Everything seemed reasonably priced, except for the 3x5 flag. $191.00!?!? Has to be a mistake that got by the proofreader on a Friday at quitting time.
  14. Nice. I'm only 740,000 behind ya.....lol
  15. My 02 is the same. When it shifts to 3rd, it slams you into the seat. I figured it was a torque converter thing, full lockup in 3rd n 4th. Guess not.
  16. NAPA part # is 9808 for preformed heater hoses. Both are the same. This is on my 02. Just an FYI
  17. Being retired, I can not support this statement....?????????
  18. Replaced my heater core today. Reminded me of divorce court. Nothing seems to be going your way, obstacles popping up repeatedly, then suddenly it's over and a weight is lifted. Really hope it doesn't leak. Used a swivel tube core. Can't run it till tomorrow. Had to order new heater hoses. My carpet was damp and I couldn't for the life of me find the leak letting rainwater in. Then it dawned on me, I needed to replace this last year but with multiple family members dieing unexpectedly and my wife battling cancer, (successfully), it slipped through the cracks. 2019 was a long year. Hope I don't ever have to do it again, but it sure feels good to do it yourself. Thanks to moparman for his write-up. Helped a lot.
  19. I prefer the copper-nickel brake line. Easy to work with and can be ran wherever you want. Will never rust.
  20. I'm done with Rock Auto. Front rotors listed for my truck were wrong. Rock Auto says the computer is right so I got charged a restocking fee. Ordered an abs module for my suburban. They actually sent me someone's core return. When I opened the box I thought maybe it just wasn't cleaned up after rebuild, but it showed no signs of being rebuilt. I installed it and it was bad just like the one I removed. They didn't believe me. Said it sounded to them like I installed the new part and was trying to get it free. Couple hundred bucks down the drain. Never again.
  21. Carbon credits is just paying to pollute. Companies that can't meet epa regulations buy "credits" from companies that can. Given company is allowed to pollute to a "scale" of ten, but manages to pollute to a scale of eight, they get to sell their "credit" of two to another company that can now pollute to twelve and avoid epa fines because they bought "credits". The planet is still being polluted horribly with no gain. Epa government logic at it's best. "Credits" do NOTHING to curb pollution. They only allow money to change hands. It's a joke.
  22. I put in 3 gal on my '02. Reads just barely over full mark. Good enough for me. Makes it easy. 1 quart too much in an 11 qt. System isn't going to cause any problems.
  23. Does he sell online? Any contact info?
