I talked to Dodge today about Fuel Pump
The parts man at the local Dodge stealership confirmed that my 98.5 24V came from the factory without a fuel pump in the fuel tank, which we all knew.
He said the lift pump bolted to the block next to the fuel filter was the only fuel pump Dodge installed on that model truck at the factory. If your Dodge has the pump on the block, that means that Dodge did not install a in tank fuel pump under warranty.
I sure hope he is correct. I was thinking that Dodge had a factory fuel pump mounted somewhere on the frame and the lift pump on the block was secondary to insure proper fuel pressure. I learn new things daily.
Soooo would I be correct to install a Airdog 150 or Fass on the frame and run the new fuel supply and fuel pressure line directly to the VP44.?

If I install an Airdog 150 to the frame as suggested, can I run the 1/2 inch fuel line from the Airdog to my factory fuel filter and install new drilled oversized Banjo bolts to insure extra fuel flo thru all fuel hose connectors and continue onto the VP44.
If I do this, I will eliminate the loss of my fuel heater and dash check engine warning light.

Just another thought:

Good luck!

Kerly,
I do not think that you will run into any issues with the Airdog and the way they have instructed to install it. I followed the directions on mine and yes, bypassed all the stuff. I just moved from South Florida to Maryland this year. I set up my AD according to the directions and when I got up here it was cold. I did not plug my truck in and had not issues with the fuel and starting right up. I say that your on the right track, and go for it.
