RAPTOR OR AIRDOG?
 

Ok guys my EDGE JUICE AND CTS just got here, THANKS 2 DB $ LUKE @ DIESEL DAWGS. I'll see how good my fuel pressure is:humm: but i wana know which kinda lift pump to go with that will work well with my mods and future plans... and not brake the bank..
Thanks,
Matt:c:

It depends on how much power you eventually want to achieve.....the diffrence between the two is the air dog is a fuel air separator and filter and the raptor is just the pump and you keep the factory filter housing IIRC. Both are lifetime warranted and will deliver the fuel the VP needs to stay happy, but i do love my airdog:w2:

thanks for the info :c:

I just got the raptor for my truck and I really like it, never had an airdog but when my lift pump gave out and I was stuck in new mexico all I could afford was the raptor and so far I don't regret going the cheaper option. And both the raptor 100 and 150 come with adjustable regulators where on the airdog you have the get the more expensive model out of the airdog lineup to get that. Honestly I've heard great things about both but I had to go the cheaper route cause I am broke but so far doesn't seem like a bad pump at all and with the stock pickup I maintain 20 psi at idle and 14 wot

nice..
the raptor is 399 and the dog is 499.
how was the instal on ur raptor? pretty simple?
does it take the spot of the factory lift pump on the side of the block?
thanks

My son got the Raptor 150, great pump. Adjustable flow, easy install, came with hose and clamps and everything needed.

thanks for the info!:c:

Okay ill try to not write a novel on the install haha. It mounts on the frame, it uses the ecm lead from the factory lift pump on the block, if you look below the fuel filter on the block you should be able to see a plug running to the stock lift pump, the wiring harness uses that plug to tell the lift pump when to run, you connect the power supply to either the battery or alternator. You run the supplied fuel line from the pump on the frame rail to the fuel filter where the original lift pump fuel line goes, you have to remove the bolt running into the filter holding the banjo fitting on and move the line out of the way to connect the new line with the supplied fittings. Then you run the supplied fuel line from the tank supply to the pump and connect the harness to the pump. Bleed the lines and pump by loosening the fitting at the supply side of the filter or do what I did and open the drain valve on the filter and bump the starter to energize the pump. Once you see a steady stream of fuel from the drain line or get fuel at the fitting if you go that route tighten properly, then you can start the truck. I also bumped the starter again after bleeding to make sure I had enough fuel in the filter to start. In my case I also had to prime the pump because my truck was leaning backwards up a slight hill. I did that by running the line from the tank up through the drain hole in the bed, and running a hose into the fitting and making it air tight and then putting that hose into a gas can full of diesel and holding it up so it would pull easily, bumped the starter and it primed the pump, thanks to tony from mighty diesel for the info on that. Unless you accidently start the truck while bleeding the lines like my helper did:argh: you don't need to worry about bleeding the rest of the fuel system. Its very easy and shouldn't take longer than a couple hours. The hardest part for me was trying to get the factory fuel line off the top of the tank. Sorry for the novel haha

I love my Raptor (thanks Jacob) it's super easy to adjust, but I use my stock filter because I got a great deal on 50 of them:w2:

Thanks wyodiesel92:tu::c:
