What's next? I've gotten head studs, egr delete, a new oil cooler, sct programer with custom tunes, a full set of gauges, and a 5" turbo back exhaust. What's the next step?

Fuel system.

Really depends what your plans/goals are for the truck. I would do an airdog 2 though next, always a good mod. Might look into a coolant filter too.

What gauges do you have now?

Mods?
 

I have egt, temp ( eot, ect, trans) &, fuel pressure. I ran a toggle switch between my temps so I only have one Gauge but it reads 3 different sending units.

Ok so what are your goals for the truck?? What power do you want and what will you be doing with it? Towing at all, or just a street/strip truck? :pca1:

Since you have a fuel pressure gauge, what does FP drop to on a wide open run?

I'm looking to have a kick ass DD that can hang with the local pony cars and still tow 12k!

idk? im still learning.

Make a wide open throttle run and watch your fuel pressure. What psi does it drop to.

Yes. If it drops at all, you need a fuel pump. My guess is you do.

Which airdog should I get the 100 or the 150 they are the same price. Would the 150 be too much.

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:hellox:

How did you have to modify the kit?

i have a 2003 powerstroke 6.0L custom built headers VVT turbo with little upgrades stage 3 cold air bigger ram bigger boost tubes did it also air to water intercooler 5 inch down pipe glass pack in a 4 inch stach lockers front and rear no tuners don't need them with all the other upgrades like the six speed manual transmission that can with stand 1200 ft lbs of torque bigger fuel system i run red diesel better fuel than that biodiesel crap and propane injection with 175cc injectors

5 inch to 4 inch stack is for a throaty rumble and improves mileage and longer engine life

This entire post sounds like complete BS. :moon:

Mods?
 

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.

Mods?
 

Quack quack quack.

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!!!!

You are completely full of shit, but Id love to see some pics of your setup :humm:

You are COMPLETELY full of s**t. Red diesel does NOTHING for you except save at the pump, it is IDENTICAL to #2 diesel without road tax, that's why it has red die. Running 5" into 4" gives you worse economy than 5" all the way out because it chokes the flow and your engine can't breathe and a straight pipe is a straight pipe so nothing about a different size pipe is gonna give you longer engine life. If you wanted longer engine life why the F**K did you put propane on.

He's just a Troll don't feed him that's what he wants.

AD 2, Powermax, and 175cc stix

Yup.

Instead of feeding the troll lets help the OP out.

For fuel system I'd do airdog2, the larger banjo bolts for the heads (either 6.4 bolts or the ebay bolts) and a fuel pressure gauge. Should be all you'll need.

FASS isn't superior to airdog in anyways. In fact I'd choose the AD2 over anything else simply for the adjustable regulator. It's more or less aimed at the Ford crowd for this reason. We need 55psi, everyone else pretty much only needs 10-15psi to feed their injection pumps.

Will the banjo bolt upgrade hurt the fuel system w/o the airdog2?

Absolutely not, you can run them on a bone stock truck if you want. I ran them on mine with stock fuel system and just a programmer.

Hello Everyone, Ive been reading on this site for a while now and just recently joined and I want to say thanks for all the info shared on here. My question is does the air dog 2 eliminate the need for a regulated return fuel system upgrade ?

If you ask ITP about it, they'll tell you that you still need their $700 RR system because it's closer to the heads or something, forget what their reasoning is.

I'd just use the AD2 and the banjo bolts. The AD2 is regulated so you will not need a separate regulator. Some people still think it's a good idea to do a x-over line between the back of the heads, to simply equalize pressure, but I don't think it's necessary anyawys. The dead-head system on these still runs PAST the last injector, so as long as you keep an eye on fuel pressure and it's maintained at or very close to 55-60psi, there is no need.
