Its all.good man. Mine has about 151,000 miles on the set up thus far
I was asking if you worked for kennedy because you seemed to be knowledgeable of their product. Not sure how that's ball busting?

I'm sure its just me man no problem. As someone who has been self employed for 15 years my wife is correct in saying "you don't always listen to others well" that coupled with the fact that as a 41 year old man on now shoot up testosterone weekly yes from the doctor but Sunday when I get my shot and Monday I can be a bit testy sorry bro. and I guess I do consider myself knowledgeable about his products but honestly I do research anything thoroughly that goes on to my personal work truck or any other ones I own

Liang makes the Kennedy lift pumps and they had to be modified for diesel. I've used Gulf Coast on my Peterbilt. FueLab on my 37 Buick and I'm just not a brand name guy I guess. I remember right after I graduated college and was working in the lab when the pump broke hearing the owner say "that little thing has worked non stop for 6 years that's more than I can expect from any of y'all! I read Donna forum that Kennedys used the same pumps and I thought it was my best choice. My truck has to stay running because oil/gas

Oil/gas companies don't give many second chances and my business is built on years of being the guy they know WILL be there on time, safe and fast. There's nothing wrong with the Airdog as its flow through and you can get decent filters for it. I've used the same Cat filters on many engines and trust them. Being that a double deck car hauling truck and trailer set up can get costly quick you need to keep it on the road. My chevy isn't nearly as expensive but it not arriving on time could be devastating to some smaller rig outfits. Two of my best guys use Airdogs, that I bought and approve of. Its simply a matter of longevity and my desire to crawl under my truck. Plus I only needed the one with 2-4 psi as I don't have mods that require as much pressure as some. Glad we worked it out as men I was only trying to help and I shouldn't have been such a cry baby. Forgive me as I'm accustomed to "yes sir" them someone walking off to disagree and use what they want.

I don't care for mechanical pumps. Reliability may be a touch better but you still depend on an electric pump so I'm not sure if that's a valid argument. They are a bit more of mess to plumb. Most of my reasoning is based on preferences though.

it's my understanding that the factory lift pump only kicks in if there is a pressure drop on the mechanical correctso the stock pump isn't actually being used until it is needed if it is needed or am I wrong

That's correct, so when starting the electric pump is in use.

Does the eletric pump run for every startup? Or just the initial prime after install.does the mechanical pump not start the truck on its own?
