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.

That's funny,I've got a pile of miles on my belt drive and never had a leak yet,about 250k on it I guess.
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

Can't ask for better then that. Now if we could just get him to be a vendor on here and active on the site.

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.
