Default fuel pump...

im torn between 2 fuel pumps...would like some opinions. im trying to decide between airdog 150 or a fuel boss belt driven fuel pump. the 150 has the filtration system and the adjustable fuel pressure, but the fuel boss is belt driven so no wires and crap like that. let know what yall think.

I vote for the fuel boss, although i think you have run a electric to prime it, but im not sure on that.

yep..it runs to the factory lift pump, once the truck starts then theres a relay that shuts off the lift pump and striclty runs off the belt driven pump.

I'd go AirDog for the simple reason you can run it without the engine running. That may come in handy down the road for IP diagnostics. Fuses are also cheaper then belts if something were to go wrong.

Fuelab, its brushless and cheaper than both of them and will last longer. I run the 42402 to a dual filter setup and was still cheaper than the Airdog, FASS, or Fuel Boss

I got mine from amazon for realllly cheap but it looks like the price just went up. Go to FUELAB.COM and see which pump would be best for your needs. Mine flows 200gph+ at 45 psi. And it brushless so there are no parts that can go bad, alot of big HP gas and diesel trucks use these pump and i love mine

Are you running a regulator with that? 45 psi at idle would seem to me to be somewhat high?
