Hey everyone I'm new to the forum and trying to learn as much about my dodge as I can to keep it on the road. I just put an isspro fuel pressure gauge on it confirmed that I need a lift pump. (not that I didn't know that already). My question is I have been looking at lp and I've decided to go with the air dog 100 big line kit whatever I need to do it right. I have no plans for engine/power upgrades I'm just looking for longevity and later on who knows I might want to add something. Just wondering if I'm on the right track. Your input is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!Sounds like you are on the right track. Got gauges.:thumbup2: What is your fp without the gauges? Are you running 2 stroke in the fuel to help lubricity?

Your on the right track... That AirDog 100 will support upwards of 400 HP easy. The biggest trick is making sure you can hold at least 14 PSI of pressure at all times. This will keep the overflow valve open all the time which keeps the pump lubed and cooled better.

I haven't checked it with a mechanical fuel gauge. My isspro says 10-12 idle and 0-5 wot. Hangs out about 8 driving down the road. Ive owned several diesels but I've never used 2 cycle. Ive owned the truck almost 4 months I had the oil changed but I'm thinking about changing the fuel filter to see if that could help my pressure til I save enough for the air dog.

You'll find lots of great info here, as well as great folks!

I was thinking how do I check my fuel pressure without a gauge too but didn't want to say anything. I glad the airdog will be enough. I definately will be on this forum frequently and when I get the airdog I will be looking for tips/advice on the install to put it in right and achieve the 14 psi at all times goal. I like to do it right the first time.:thumb1:

doing the job twice is over-rated :whistle:

:iagree: definately over rated, but you do get plenty of practice.:doh:Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard There is a lot of good info on here. Ask a question and some one help you out.
