I only drove it around the block today to see if the filter helped. I'm using my parents truck as a daily driver for right now

The original diesel belt drive is the RASP by DTT. But all the pumps have the same issue, they wear in the front bushing causing leaks eventually. This is why I did not go that way. I have seen a much better design, but it just has not seen the light of day yet.
I am running a 12V mechanical pump, but any setup that requires or could require the use of 2 pumps seems silly to me. Why buy an aftermarket pump if you have to rely on the stocker for any use??
Just my thoughts.

I think most people get the belt too dang tight.

Just an update. I got ahold of Opie when he was out of town on a job. He said about mid April. well... I got ahold of him he's setting me up with a MITUSA pump. Its substantially less than the Airdog, and he is going to deliver and help me install it. He's pretty stand up guy if you ask me

Well Opie came down this morning and Helped me put the MITUSA in and all I can say is WOW its so simple. Drove the truck and now my problem is its too easy to hit the de-fueling spot. Guess its time for a box
Oh BTW it make 17psi at idle and doesn't go any lower

That's the best part of these pumps. As opposed to a normal electric motor pump that is at it's highest psi at idle, where you need it the least. These belt drive pumps are at their lowest psi at idle and go higher as the truck RPM's climb, giving the extra psi when you need it most under load.

Hey Opie, glad to see ya here for first hand info. It's hard to get new ideas excepted out here in the real world and we need some first hand info to spread the word on these pumps. greatest hidden improvement out there for our trucks as far as I'm concerned but we need some help to get the idea excepted.
Again thanks for comin by, hope ya make it a habit.
