They are the typical dodge crappy lifts pumps IMO. First thing I would do is get a Fuel Pressure Gauge to monitor how well your lift pump is working.

Yeah the Air Dog will come with everything needed to install it, pump, mount, fuel lines, draw straw, harness etc. And you will need to modify the sending unit to allow the Airdog to function properly. Here is how we modify the sending unit.

The Vulcan Draw Straw V works as well. I have one in my truck and I never have 1/4 tank issues.

Just Make sure your drill the 5/8 holes at the bottom of your module like in Vinny's Install photos.

I didn't drill any extra holes in mine. Doesn't seem to be a problem.....so far.

I drilled the holes that Vulcan had recommended and I had 1/4 tank stutter. I ended up droping the tank again and taking a uni bit and drill 5/8 holes on either side. Pretty much what Vinny did and I havent had a problem.
