I was wondering if any one else has installed one of the units on an 2nd gen yet? I just got one today and cuz i didn't have an in-tank pump they shorted me the fuel module upgrade kit. Ron said its not needed do to the way the 165 pump works diffrently form the Airdog 150. It just sucks up fuel through the 3/8in or so line out of the tank. Does this sound right to anyone. Seems like it would really hinder the flow/preformance of the system compared to having either the fuel module upgrade or a draw straw.

Any thoughts on the mater will be greatly appreciated.

 

well with the pump using the 3/8 line I think you wouldn`t be having the 1/8 tank fuel problems and install will be a little easier
I have no clue if it would hinder flow or not using the smaller line

 

Havent seen the new airdog but my airdog 150 uses a 1/2 inch pickup. I think the AD 100 uses a 3/8 inch line and the original pickup? I would think that small of line would hinder the flow on the 165.

On my Airdog 100 I just use the stock line, I too would think it would be to small.

 

the fass 150/150 for our trucks has its own suction tube line that u put in the tank for the high volume it needs b/c the stock pump is restrictive so i would look into that

 

Well i figured i would go ahead and put it in like ron says to. Which is the same way they install the ad100. But i think they need to inform ppl that they wont be getting the fuel module upgrade for our years of trucks w/o the in-tank pump. Which means no 1/2in line sucking out of the tank and still having to splice in to the fuel neck.

 

As I understood all the kits include the draw straw but the intake pumps came with the "upgraded kit".

 

Well kinda as i said there was no draw straw or the airdog Fuel module upgrade in my kit that i got from airdog. Cuz, my truck still had just the original fuel pump mounted on the block and never had the dodge in-tank pump installed in the tank. I also found this originaly posted by DieselMinded..

My instructions look similar but from page 13 on completly diffrent. If i get time this weekend ill scan mine in, for refrence later on.

 

On page 14 of the manual you didn't get any of those parts? Because thats the upgraded 1/2 pickup line that goes in the fuel basket.

 

Yup you should have got a new draw straw.
