Wow, you guys got me concerned, I have an airdog1 150gph on my truck,so far I haven't had any trouble. I got one of the ones when they switched to the quick connect fittings. again so far no trouble. when I bought it i was told it was the one to get. guess will well see. I do keep an eye on my FP gauge. I do it out of habit now.

does the dtt use or offer a filter and water separator? i have seen claims of fuel psi being in the mid 20's too is this safe for the vp44's?

fass 150 titanium gets my vote. avoid airdog like the plague. they have failed pump threads popping up daily on cumminsforum.

The Kennedy uses the same pumps we used in the chemistry lab I worked in for a few years. We couldn't afford to be down because of a pump failure! The pumps are modified to accept diesel but they are essentially the same. We had one that went 6 YEARS nonstop. I believe Kennedy states his are good 40,000 hours but still much longer than anything other than FueLab pumps. These designs have less resistance on the moving parts thus wear and tear is minimized.
Dual Kennedy pumps get you to the 12+ psi range. I'm not sure about y'alls engines but for mime this is sufficient. Anyway the fuelab and Kennedy pump designs are far superior to the others I believe. Either brand has a lifespan much greater than traditional lift pumps.

Do you work for Kennedy?

Why is it people can always go on and on about the other two leading brands but mention another one and ohhhhhh no! They OP seemed concerned about longevity and I feel the above mentioned pumps will outlast the others. Simple. In the chemistry lab we could not afford to be down and with my truck I cannot as I use it to feed my family. Secondly I find John Kennedy to be a bit of an *** and would never work for him but he's a die hard diesel guy and I trust him much more than a product designed to sell to the masses who typically purchase products based popopularity: led by the media. I do my research and work I run my truck 400

Yikes... I was just asking, didn't mean anything by it.
I agree it's a nice pump but with lifetime warranties and limited failures in the fass line I'm not sure it's any more reliable than the others. If your upset no one paid mind to your first comment about the pump can't do much about that . They'll all fail at some point I do like those pumps though. How many miles do you have on your pump?

My phone kicked me off. Almost everyone I know uses the AirDog after switching from the other latest crazy and the airdog is much better. I'll take my 256-8753 or 175-2949 water seps next to my 1R-0749 Cat filters and my 1R-0749/50 Cat replacing the stock coming in at about $13 bucks any day. Now maybe you were just busting my.***** but the close mindedness never ceases to amaze me. I was simply trying to help being that the Kennedy pumps are more obscure I thought I'd add some real world experience.

Its all.good man. Mine has about 151,000 miles on the set up thus far
