If the LP is dead, I wouldnt venture too far, until you get it fixed, just my opinion.

Cant venture anywhere LOL! Doesn't run long enough.. Heck it doesn't even prime anymore without hitting it with a wrench.

In my world usin an electric motor pump is no different then runnin a Prius motor in yer truck.:rake::voodoo:

:humm: How much does that cost... CANT be cheap.

It's the cheapest option of the only real options. Need to go talk to this man. You won't find anybody easier to deal with either. Intelligent Engineering Inc - Diesel Bombers

Anything other then the MITUSA, Airdog or FASS will be just another temporary fix.

But how much are they? Not listed on their site...

Uncle Bubba 07-08-2009 05:56 PM

How nice can ya talk. Opie is not big business. He's a guy that drag races his diesel trucks and got tired of the junk he was havin to waste money on so he went to work and started building his own parts. Everything you see on his site is thought of, researched and developed, marketed, sold and warrantied by him personally.

This is why you don't see him advertised, word of mouth from past and current customers is his advertising. He also doesn't have a marketing price per say, he just tries to not lose money on the deal. Hope I'm makin my point without havin to come right out and say that you have to talk to him and see what his price is today. He's a good guy though , he will help ya out all he can.

Sent him a email... Still dont know what im going to do. I NEED my truck. Probably have to sacrifice for another Holley Black hoping it lasts for a couple months. Summit is pretty close so i can get there and back tonight. :(

Trust me, I have spent several thousand dollars on trying different fuel systems. I have completely replaced my whole fuel system, lines, pumps and everything in between twice now and 8 or more new lift pumps. I've lost count on the real total but I have tried them all before I found the MITUSA. Granted I have never had the Airdog installed but I did have it in my hands when I changed my mind and sent it back.

Anyway back to the topic, I know it's hard to come up with the funds for this stuff but in this case you will spend the money now and be able to trust your truck or you will spend it over the course of months and never trust or enjoy your truck cause you will never know where your gonna drive it to and not get back home. Not worth it.

DieselWeasel 07-08-2009 06:57 PM

I agree with that 100%

I totally go for the best when I have the ability too... Right now its more of a matter of what i can do, not what i would like to do. Otherwise id have a bunch of gauges and tuner and such already.

Not to get too off topic but going thru a similar ordeal with my truck, is the MITUSA pump too overpowering for a stocktruck or is output adjustible? My truck had the same start and stall issue you guys are dealing with and my VP sh*t the bed. Good luck fixing your truck Cumminsport!:itsok:

The MITUSA uses an external regulator that comes with the kit that is adjustable from 4psi to like 65psi. If you want to use it on the newer trucks that run far more pressure you just change the pulley size and it will pumps 150 plus psi.

By using the external regulator there is nothing to wear out like in the electric motor pumps with an internal bypass.
