Ok cool I need to get my tranny checked =/ I have no idea what condition it's in

i doubt there is anything wrong with factory lift pump. I thaught the same so i got a airdog 150 and i HATE it. Dont know how but duel mileage went fromm 22 to 15-16 and thats all i did at the time so thats the only thing that could have droped it. I tried adjusting pressure, star wheel, and even put plate back in for a bit and nothing helped. I WOULD NOT GET AIR DOG!!! If u want to change fuel filters easy get filter housing and fitings to put it on frame like i did. Only thing nice about electric pump is u turn the key and it fills filter when chaning.

a stock lift pump is perfect for any truck that will be driven on the street . all it has to do is keep the filter full and it takes a lot of hp to drain that filter . If you want smoke take out the fuel plate completely move afc full forward , your tranny will be fine , my daily driver has 468000 with original tranny .

Question #1 - (to BWS 86) Not exactly sure how an Airdog could make your MPG worse, even if it tried really hard (unless you hooked something up wrong). It just can't do it, that I know of. Can someone enlighten me if this is even possible?:humm:

Question #2 - (to Dude_57) Why would a grown man (just assuming that you are, correct me if I'm wrong here) WANT smoke to pour out of the pipe? Afterall, it IS unburned fuel that comprises the majority of that black smoke, if not ALL OF IT. That "cool factor" wears out really quick when you are either at the gas station throwing your paycheck into the tank, or see people looking at you, shaking their heads and snickering at you. :nope::td:

Dude_57, I just want to appolize for my past assumption. I see now from your profile that you are only 19 years old, and a firefighter! These both would explain your obsesion for "wasting money to make people think that you look cool" and "smoke". :rocking::c:

bws_86 07-07-2010 11:50 PM

I dont know how it would make my mileage worse either but it wet down as soon as i put it on. I dont know how u could put it on wrong. I wish i knew what happened to milage if anyone does please let me know. Thanks

Lol I never said pour out smoke lol only when I mash on it. I drive it like a grandma north pole hooker. But of course everyone gets froggy ya know? An every once in awhile you just wanna show that gas
Engine dodge hemi you ain't messin around lol and thank you 94smokewagon. And how many miles did you have on it when you removed the fuel plate?

I do not hear to many good things about air dog. FASS pumps are a little more money but you get what you pay for. Watch out with moving the fuel plate stock trannys dont like that. Do a search on here alot of advice about AFC and fuel plate adjusting.

Re: Lift pump questions
 
What? First I've ever heard that

Air dog is miles ahead of fass , I have never heard anything bad about airdog

All fass is , is the first airdog

Airdogs are quiter and have longer life spans and are smaller in size because of advances in the design

These are facts not opinions , will a fass do the job yes ...however the air dog will do it better and longer and it will cost you less

You decide

Cummins doesn't have a legendary reliability reputation for running electric fuel pumps. That's a Johnny-come-Dodge/FASS/AirDog-lately thing. The early piston pumps are FAR more reliable and durable than any electric is or ever will be.

I'm pretty sure you need to put a fuel pressure gauge on there and find out what's going on. :nope:

Thats BS - Airdog was the first to bring out the pumps with lifetime warranty, they take up less space, are cheaper, and have MUCH better customer service.
