Airdog 2. I believe it's the 165 now, and I think it's all they offer for the 2 now. Make sure to get the 2, it has an adjustable regulator, and though it costs a little more than the standard airdog, it will save you from spending $700 on a separate regulated return. I would get this pump and the larger banjo bolts. Just do a search for them. They're real inexpensive.

Definitely check out the FP gauge and always keep a good eye on that. 55psi is what it should stay at all the time, if you dip to 45 or lower, you're damaging your injectors.

the new air dog two kit is a nice upgrade....
More filtration
and water removal
More adjustable pressure


Take a look at my installation on my 2005 truck...under search in the modified section

The hoses were a bitch and had to modify the kit

Ok so if I want to upgrade my injectors and turbo will an airdog 2 be enough or should I get a fass? I plan on Geri g the fuel system first then the injectors and turbo at the same time.

personally id do the air dog. no real reason y i just hear alot of guys running them and liking them. you also may wanna look at other preventative stuff like bypass filters for the coolant and or oil. again thats just preventative stuff that can and will save you headaches later on.

Wow, your truck sounds sweet!!! Could you throw up some pictures please? I also have a 2003 6.0 and I was wanting to put on a bigger ram and a 5in downpipe but I can't figure out how. I am also very interested in your propane setup, did you turn it all the way up? I hear you can get lots of bang with propane. I never thought about running 175cc injectors with the stock programming, the bigger fuel system and red diesel must offset that.

I can't believe I wasted money on that tuner and those custom tunes!!!!
