Default AirDog? FASS? MITUSA?

So today I got back from hauling my little trailer and... My lift pump took a crap on me. So now I have 3psi. Now it's time to fix it. I know I can always get a stock replacement.

So I'm torn between going with a FASS or Airdog

or

A MITUSA pump or something like this
Glacier Diesel Power - Product List

My only problem is that the mechanical pump uses your stock pump to "prime" it or whatever.

So Guys what should I do. This is my Daily Driver. I do tow a lot too.
thanks a lot

Had an air dog 150 on my 99 and it ran good with the adrenaline w/pulse
ya also can`t beat lifetime warranty
I don`t know much about the fass but hear they are a little noisy

Airdog:2
Fass:0
MITUSA:0

I like the idea of a mechanical pump I've always ran one on my other cars. (14:1 540 btw)

x3 AirDog, lift time warranty, big lines come with 150 kit, fass 95 same price as the 150, less noise than the fass. I really like my 150.

I vote fass just me though as fass supports events all over around me and are awesome to deal with. at the nor cal rally last year he was crawling around helping many people with issues they had and making sure all was taken care of no matter what.

I guess I'm starting to lean towards the Fuel Boss system. I've been talking to the guy and he said it would be perfect for me. He also said that you don't even need the stock pump, most people unhook them. Only thing is the guys in state so they tag me with tax.

For the $$$ Can't go wrong with either the FASS or Airdog. Lifetime Warranty on both.

First off I love the the Glacier Diesel Mechanical pump I have and I have never had an electric pump since I installed this thing some years back. I have full pressure within a second of start up no problem. I will never by choice go back to an electric motor pump.

Now that being said, what Glacier is selling is not the real MITUSA Pump. It is a copy. The real MITUSA Pump is marketed by the man that spent years on research and development of the design and went through many changes before he opened it up to the public. You can find it here. Learn more about our high performance diesel products!

Don't take this the wrong way, what Rich is selling at Glacier is a good product and his after the sale service is great so I'm not knockin him in any way but credit has to be given to the man that spent years workin on it and that is Opie.

Yah Opie has the real Mitusa pump. he just a few min. north of where I live. The only problem is that he doesn't have a retail store so he can avoid taxes and all that other stuff.


Could a clogged Fuel filter be causing some of my problem?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

So I fired the truck up this morning, just cause i'm curious to see if it was still pulling 3 psi. to my suprise a rock solid 7 psi i took it around the block and fuel pressure stayed above 5psi. I went and got a fuel filter and tomorrow i'm going to change it and see if that helps.

For now my parents let me borrow there truck (1997 cummins) till I can save up some money and not put the pump on my credit card.
