  1. It does have the same set up as your air dog. Are the two washers in bottom pic implicating that they go in with spring to tighten spring to get more pressure? as the thread states "whipping a dead horse" I'm sure you have gone over all this in other threads, but I appreciate the refresher coarse. So if I get more pressure I intend to do good head bolts first then start trucking on some power mods.
  2. So how do I get more fuel pressure? New fass one fifty in so is it adjustable? When tank runs low I'll put in a draw straw if that helps. I would be cool with three fifty plus on the hp eventually four.
  3. Sixteen @ idle and no less than thirteen when stomping on it from a stop through all gears of an auto. Still feels weak when you stomp on it at seventy. I'm assuming that's just what it is. This truck is stock other than fass one fifty. Do you guys know what I can do to get some top end out of this thing. Thinking about getting a timbo not sure if I need it but seems like previntitve maintenance. What about injectors. Or a chip or whatever you put on these. Thanks again for the help. The fuel system is rock solid, so what's next?
  4. Just going to clean my mess and take it for a ride.
  5. What am I supposed to do with the two extra wire sets from old fuel filter? Vp is in and fass is mounted. Just need to plumb it in and it's done. --- Update to the previous post... So I have ports in the platinum one fifty for heating. The destructions say nothing about it. Do I just plug those off? Also do I have to leave stock fuel filter in or can those wires just dangle? Thanks
  6. So of of course the parts that I ordered and paid almost four hundred extra dollars for overnight shipping didn't show up today. The vendor said I gave them the wrong address. Ya right anyway I have the vp out and all the stock fuel pump and filter out and am ready to stab it!! I ordered a fuel pressure gauge, a new vp 44 , and a cases one fifty lift pump that I intend to install about where mike put his in the pictures above. My only regret is that I didn't order a draw straw set up, but I think I can invent my own. And also the fass only has 3/8 inch pplumbing, so I hope that's cool.also you were right about the heater part, all three speeds of the fan work now. There was. No mice damage. My last dodge truck was a v10 2500 4x4, and during the crash of 911 gas wAs to expensive to drive it so I parked it on my property three hundred miles north and let it sit for two years. When I decided to drive it again the mice ate ALL THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE DASH!!!! The truck was totaled. I could have got another one for less than it cost to fix it. So now I have three male cats on the seen and not one mouse.anyway, putting truck together tomorrow I'll let you guys know how it went, and thanks for the help. I think I found the right crowd, you guys are aawesome !!!!!
  7. Also the heater or ac only works on high setting do you think it's the blower motor or is there a thread I can refer to?
  8. So I'll deal with it, happy to do so anyway. I started to tear out the oe fuel filter canister and pump just above the starter I don't have the fass till tomoro just getting started though. Is that tiny thing really the pump? Wow. Also it is not new as per seller. Oh well I'll put the fass on tomoro and give her a whirl. One more question though. Is the fas one fifty going to hook up to those tiny lines on top of tank? The seller said I got the 3/8 kit for fuel lines. I guess the instructions will tell me though. I'm ready though. I'll let you know.
  9. What do you mean " my first pump" and " my third pump". I am whipping a dead horse aren't I I own an Audi a6 and the fun part about that car is I get to drive it from mechanic to mechanic and dump horrible amounts of money into it. So if I put a fass on and a new vp what your saying is it will happen again? How often? I don't mind maintaining a good rig but are these things just money pits? I didn't get a diesel to look cool, I got one cause I heard they last forever. If I spend enough dinero I could get the pyramids in Egypt back to oe too. Man I'm a little freaked out right. Now. I have three fifty on a t 100 and it only. Needs a t belt every two years and some fresh oil five times a year.
  10. So as I me mentioned, I just got the truck. I've put about fifty miles on it and intend to put no more till I put fass one fiddy on. It came with no gauge and I will put one on. The guy I got it from put two matching batteries in and says a new fuel pump on side Of block, although it doesn't look new. In fact I can tell you by looking that it's not. Looks to me though that the vp is new. It's real shiney and still has bright yellow void stickers on it. The guy dropped of the Planet so I can't confirm. So what I'm asking is since batteries were replaced and vp " looks " new could those be old codes that were not cleared and also the " apps" should be re calibrated ? How do I clear codes after I put new fass on ? How much tea is in china? By the way I did the breather mod. My radiator looked as bad as the pictures on that other thread. I know I ask a lot of questions but I'm new to diesel and want to do the right thing.
  11. I was so happy to get my first diesel oh well. I was thinking I would buy bumpers and stereos and chips and stuff. I knew I was going to dump money into it but not into fuel system. So you guys think I should get the stock vp or get something else. I don't intend to hot rod around I am just looking for the best fuel economy. Can anyone point me in the direction of a less expensive rebuilt one or a kit to rebuild one if there is such a thing. I just want a good dodge and am really into doing it right.
  12. Ok checked codes haven't put fass in yet p-pcu P-1693p-ecu. P-0230 0216what do you think.
  13. Heater hose seems to last forever whereas PVC can break down when temps fluctuate a lot.
  14. Hi. New here and I'm glad to find you guys. So I recently picked up a 2002 2500 five nine 4x. 112000 miles. Of course it won't start when hot unless I leave key on till pump stops and then bleed the water filter. I have a Tass one fifty that I'm putting in on tues. there is no fuel pressure gauge but I will be putting one on tues. as well. I guess what I'm asking is my vp going to be shot. Or can we not tell without a gauge. I've never owned a diesel and mine seems pretty week feels like some pretty dead pedal. No smoke on cold start.
