Excellent way of explaining way AirDog is the one you pick. I have always used AirDog based on customer service. I also had a couple of electric motors die on me from fuel getting past the seal from the pump. My 12v didn't need a lift pump but my 24v did. I learned to hard way from the moment I bought it what it takes to keep it going. It blows me away to think that between Chrysler and Bosch engineering nobody had a bit of sense to increase the fuel pressure above 14psi when the relief return valve in the VP44 was set to 14psi. I bought my 2nd gen in 2013 and drove it 250 miles when it crapped out on the side of the road. VP44 failed and lift pump in the tank failed. Of course I am disabled with a limited income so it took me 3 months to come up with the cash to get it running again. In between I read everything I could about VP44s and the type of fuel system set up I needed to get reliability. My first diesel was a 2006 GMC 2500 SLT Duramax Crew Cab, a great truck with a Banks exhaust and cold air system and a single tune from PowerUpDiesel and believe me for the years I drove it I got 18 Plus in town and 23 to 24 mpg loaded with my gear (Boilermaker) on the road. I had to sell it when I could no longer work in 2011. The Dodges were great but I couldn't shift them with leg braces on which I have to wear to walk. Just bought a 2007 GMC Classic 2500 Duramax a few weeks ago, very comfortable for me and it's automatic. It needs some work, previous owners didn't do the maintenance like they should have in my opinion and it has left me with a hefty amount to spend to fix things. I guess I'm the biggest sucker when it comes to selling something. I always tell the truth and always tell everything that was worked on. I sleep well at night conscious wise but I will stand before God one day and be held accountable for my actions. I was watching your video because I wanted to try the FASS but couldn't do it based on my experience with AirDog and replacements which you reminded me of I'm going to stick with what worked best for me in the past. Thank you.
I liked my airdog, I have the airdog 2 with plastic mounts, the biggest issue I had is gelling up and my motor went out. I ended up going with the FASS pump 1) easier to find filters that fit 2) local shop so if I want FASS filters they are right there and 3) most important reason, I can added a fuel heater also have option to run another electric heater. In Minnesota with bio diesel a heater is almost mandatory........I also have the beans sump.....LOVE IT
@@MrStaybrown what brand cause ive tried: powerservice, howes, optilube winter, schaffers, and the list go's on and on and they all suck ass and gell/wax filters n ur done. All of em at standard rate 2x 3x 4x rate and still gell. However -35F is cold
@@dequavisjones4869 yea I agree negative 35 is very cold, I really don't know if any anti gel would work at that temp. We only see single digits and never drop into the negatives..I use the white bottle of power service December to February.
I also had one of the older air dogs on my truck. it died as well, or at least was showing intermitten symptoms. and just like you i forgot to send in the card. they replaced my pump with the new model 4g pump free of charge and its been awesome!
I had a raptor 100 go bad unfortunately they did not want to warranty it about 5 years ago. But I ended up buying a replacement pump from a dealer that knows me and gave me a sweet deal so far 5 years still going strong. I have a another Cummins with air dog 2 and I'm pretty happy with it. Moral of the story I still stick with air dog
Have the air dog df200 pump on my 24 valve and I love it. Even under my big tune and full load I don’t have to worry about overheating my vp pump and I don’t have it cranked out to far that it will push past the vp pump.
Well spoken video. The ONLY reason I'm posting this is, I believe CREDIT due to those who do GREAT. That said; My FASS 150 I installed the year before my factory warrenty expired on my 2001 24v H.O. as Cummins engineer recommended. ZERO problems after near 2 decades! Just did a physical test as lines aged / replaced. 16oz in less than 3 seconds, over 2 gallons in 30 seconds. I feel this is why my VP44 lasted over 20yrs!
soon after I bought cummins the stock pump was weak and so we spent the money and replaced it with an airdog, its been in service now almost 5 years, It has worked great.
I had the original airdog for 2006 duramax, failed around 1 year use. Customer service sent me a new 4g pump within 3 days didnt have to send the old one in, bad part in the old pump. So👍👍 for airdog customer service & product from me!!
Im one of the few that can say that I've been running a beans sump since they came out... NEVER had an issue. Airdog however, I've tried twice both went out with in 10K miles... Went to FASS and for the past 20K or so, I've been happy. But the FASS is very loud.
I have a Fuelab on my Max now no brushes to wear out And a lot more quiet than the airdog 2 and the motor is easier replace on the fuel lab , had an air dog 2 went out 8 months later brushes burnt slam up in it
Have a 2006 6.0l fire ringed heads RR fuel system with an air dog 165 Kc 1.5 Warren diesel 155/30% injectors. Turned up the air dog to the max 70 psi at idle and anything past 1/2 throttle fuel pressure drops to 55 psi and the engine starts to misfire.
I like your videos. I’d bet you get a lot of guys like me who are new to the diesel world so a suggestion…explain what this system does and why you need it. Thanks!
The g&r has the beans beat I think same awesome one bolt design but has the return in the sump to. So less airation of fuel since it comes from the bottom and not dropping back on top. Just food for thought.
I understand what your saying, but Airdogs 4G's barely return any fuel to "drop" or "dump" from return. Even in G&R's video they have a 4G returning from the bottom and there is no bubbles even coming from it. I do like there sump but if you don't have a high return system, there really is no need for a bottom return. Again just my opinion
Congrats on 1k subs man! Went with the same fuel tank sump and was a breeze to install, definitely recommended. Thanks for explaining the differences between pumps. Answered some questions I had between the two big brands and the newer model pumps.
Just learning about lift pumps. I haul horses and figured GVW is 30,000lbs. I am adding a tuner and 4" exhaust, air and a larger transmission pan. I am open to suggestions.
awesome vid man thanks for the info it has helped me make up my mind. i have an 05 2500 5.9. is there a link you can give to to order the beans sump and air dog system, with discount would be great. also i have to replace injectors what do you recommend, this is my first diesel and have had nothing but problems with since i bought it. i have it tore down to the pistons now and am putting new head gasket on tonight and starting from there. since i could actually see that my pistons weren't burnt through and look good. but its all research from this point on. any help would be appreciated.
so hows the sound on this bitch after a yaer or two? I hear they get louder as they gain in age, this thing is nearly 2 years old now if you still have it. how is it holding up?
This is hella late but I’m just now getting into diesel stuff if I do this to my cummins can I delete the factory fuel filter that’s just a pain in the butt to change.
@@diesel_gee1187 Hey man, do you have an AirDog? What's your experience with them/how do you like it? I know both Fass and AirDog provide substantial PSI to the injection pump, but I believe Fass has a far superior filtration system providing longevity. What is your take?
matthew majcher I have zero experience with either. From my understanding, like you said FASS has a better filtration system. I haven't heard anything about them failing yet. That's why I figured I'd ask about yours. How long have you had one?
@@SylasG There are several videos on UA-cam you can look up. Search FASS vs Air dog, and they do a side by side bench comparison. The pressure regulator is nice on an air dog, but another thing that sold me on a fast pump is that they're used so frequently on big rigs without complaints from what I've seen. So there's some pros and cons for each, it's all your personal opinion and what you feel is best for you application. For wanting pressure adjustability, and the best filtration It would make sense to put fass filters on an air dog pump. That's if they can be intermingled. But in the eye of common sense, it would make the most to do that
Most do not need 165 gph pumps ! Especially for a daily driver / weekend racer. Wayyy to much returning fuel, not mention the pump is working overtime at all times due to the fact your NEVER using 165gph unless your doing 135-155miles per hour. These trucks run at 20psi lol Soooo fass is just as good if proper model and install done correctly I have both fass and going to buy air dog
I think my 06 24v needs a lift pump it has low power with no codes and sometimes the wait to start light comes on going down the road or up a mountain and chimes ten times and you can feel the truck cut the power in half when that happens it acts like limp mode sometimes stays on still with no codes but if you erase codes anyways it goes away. Have you ever heard of this problem.
Hi Greg I noticed you use a lot of air dog that pumps so I know you're a big fan of theirs but I also know your fan of fleece have you ever used one of their intank lift pumps or know of anyone I was thinking about getting one to install in my Ram 4500 52 gallon tank I would like to know your thoughts about it thank you
For a stockfish truck a sump isn't needed as a matter of fact they can be problematic also. Its a lazy man's way out instead of modifying the factory pump. If you are having the 1/4 tank problem your probably going to have it with a sump. I didn't think cutting a 2 3/4" hole in the bottom of a fuel tank a great idea. You also have a fuel line under your tank with might be a good idea if you use your truck for 4 wheeling. Look at the data for pumps and you will see the difference between the airdog and the FASS system. Save your money and buy a pump that actually is good for your engine. Your experience means nothing compared to lab results. I'm going to buy a FASS system, but thanks for the video.
New to this but have a new truck. Will adding this void my warranty? I know some will say it depends on the dealer but has anyone had experience with this. Thanks
Greg, thanks for showing this. I'm looking into getting a 4G now, thanks to you. One question though... while I like the design of the sump pickup, I don't like how low it would be on the tank of my E350, running a 7.3 I've recently gone through the entire pickup module in my tank, and would prefer to just route it through the standard top-draw to maintain the smooth lower profile, less chance to hit stuff with it. ;-) Will I route the intake AND the return to that pump? I'm under the impression that the return port is largely unnecessary, although I'll be glad to route it back.
Trying to see if the air dog ii 4g does the same thing as the fass ad far as air, water and dirt separation. Looking to put something lime this on my 04 5.9 cummins
That was a good argument for AirDog. I’m guessing you have to do a stock fuel delete of some sort. If so, any recommendations and is it difficult? Thanks for sharing.
Greg, where did you source the stainless steel lines and fittings running from your sump to your Airdog? Local shop make them or did you make them yourself?
QUESTION,QUESTION.... i have a 02 5.9L cummins i like to install an air dog fuel system., this is the right one.? this is what i need.,or i have to buy some more things.? please let me know. tengo una 02 dodge ram 5.9L 24valve cummins quiero instalar un sistema de combustible pueden ayudarme y eviten si esta es la que necesito ? o no es suficiente y necesito comprar algo más.??
I installed the beans diesel, the air dog, and the fleece. after installing it I started having trouble starting it. Any tips, or ideas on what I need to do?
QSX JOHN The thought has crossed my mind for sure, just have always bought cummins but I am a fan of newer fords and duramaxs as well. There might be some power stroke and duramax stuff showing up on the channel from time to time.
hey man great videos..I have a 06 6 speed so this is a perfect channel..thanks..I have the original 100 gph airdog ..with pump failures with them do to seal leaks is there anything I can do to help prevent this from happening..thanks
I don't think there is much you really can do unfortunately but I think with an original 100 you might not need to worry about it, if its been on there for awhile then you might be good. It was really only some of the 165's before the 4G's came out that were the issue.
Even if you are picking up crap from the bottom of the tank, you now have 3 filters to remove it, instead of relying on just one that already exists on a stock truck, so not to worry. Thats the purpose of the filters.
Hello sir ,, I have an II 4g 100 system in my Silverado,, but i also wanna install an pressure gauge,, my question is how do I find out how much pressure my lift pump is pushing??? Anyone? thanks 🙏
Hey man awesome video , I'm looking to get a pump myself really kinda made my decision for me . Was curious what did you paint your mirrors with? Soo tired of the faded black plastic look on my 05 .
Yeah that hole straw pickup sucks I had a Fass system installed on my 2015 6.7 , well shortly after it was installed the tube fell off ! I wished I’d seen this first Greg What a mess ,thx for the heads up👍
What are your thoughts on running a higher GPH lift pump than you need, to leave room for future gains? My end-goal is 650hp which would put me in 150 GPH territory, but with the truck being nearly stock (just CAI, H&S tuner & 20% injectors) should I wait on a lift pump until turbo & tuning catches up? ('06 Cummins)
Competitors have shown airdog filtration to be horrible. I don't always believe what I see, even if it looked like a legit comparison. But I also would expect if this other manufacturer was making false claims over this product....AirDog would have buried this competitor by now. I say this because I'm looking to make this upgrade. Do you have any information refuting this?
Hey Greg, I don't know if you already covered it but, in the vid you showed that you can adjust the pressure. How do you know what the correct pressure you need is? I don't wanna have to much or to little but that sweet spot.
It’s also significantly better for your engine due to EGT going up and out like gases are supposed to instead of traveling up and sticking to the top of your straight back exhaust
yes I use Cat ir 751. 2 micron absolute, You have to remove 2 tabs that you see when you remove stock filter then it will fit. Ive been using this combo for a while now
Are u making the install video soon? I am putting both the beans sump and air dog 4g on my truck and would like to be able to follow what u do to better my work
Hey so I have a 2007 Silverado 2500 hd gas and it’s lifted and I’m getting 9 miles to the gallon. Is there a tuner or something I could buy so save more gas without lowering my truck??????
Just traded my 2007.5 2500hd crew cab in on a diesel because of the horrible mpg 9.5 driving and 7mpg while towing 7k pound trailer. Truck would struggle to hold overdrive on hwy also got on my nerves kicking down all the time from 6th to 5th gear at 70mph and 4th gear at 3300 rpm while pulling hills on highway
More air re entering the system 😮. The diesel returning from the motor to the tank is hot and contributes to keep the diesel warm. I think this is all BS.
They help with just about every aspect when it comes to the fuel system. Consistent fuel flow at a set pressure to the injection pump(s). Pump isn’t working as hard to get the fuel from the lift pump compared to the in tank pump. Increasing the life of the injection pump. The filters are generally a lower micron than the factory fuel filter and water separator. Helping take a lot debris and water out of the fuel before it makes it to your pump and into your injectors to cause damage. They also help with removing air from the fuel. Even a completely factory truck adding an air dog could benefit.

Just in case you didn't know. Old airdog 1 and airdog 2 can be converted to 4G pumps. Changed my airdog from 2012 to a airdog 4G last night.
Mitchell Phelps do you just buy the 4g pump parts or what?
acexxxoasis, I just did the same thing. Give Airdog a call, they'll set you up.

i'm proud 7.3 powerstroke owner and i enjoy your Channel very informative with no b******* unlike powerstrokehelp.com btw airdog is the shit 👍
I currently have a FASS and currently having issues with it lol I think u just sold me to getting an air dog
Good deal man
Thanks for the video. Ive been looking for this system for my 05 cummins and you may have just sold me on them.
good info, i ran air dog on my 01 and never had any trouble.
Beans is in my town. i love em use em for my first gen
Thanks for the video. Good job !
Great Video.
I must agree with you. I have Air dog unit and they are on top of customer service. Great company to deal with.
Have a 2006 6.0l fire ringed heads RR fuel system with an air dog 165 Kc 1.5 Warren diesel 155/30% injectors. Turned up the air dog to the max 70 psi at idle and anything past 1/2 throttle fuel pressure drops to 55 psi and the engine starts to misfire.
Also if you tow a trailer if you run past 1/4 tank with a regulated return fuel system the fuel gets pretty hot and also lowers pressure.

I will never understand what the big deal is between the 2 main pump companies.. fass and airdog. correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they related...?
👍👍
I know this is an old video but I think you just made me an airdog guy
So I can buy a 200 gph pump and set it lower if I don't need all that? That way I can prep for the end build.
Do you still use airdog? Amen to the Sump setup.
What is the best deal going for that DF-165-4G? I am seeing one on Ebay for $702. Amazon doesn't have a 4G model listed for my second gen 24v.
Hi greg do you know if these can be shipped to the UK and are they able to be used with vegetable oil mix with desiel or will that kill them?
Air dog warranty is sketchy comparing to fass. They gave a hard time. Other then that they seem to be very similar product IMO.
When u buy a lift pump should you always get a fuel sump to????!

Do you have any issues with the aiedpg motor while running having a high pitch squeal on occassions?
Greg, thanks for showing this. I'm looking into getting a 4G now, thanks to you.
One question though... while I like the design of the sump pickup, I don't like how low it would be on the tank of my E350, running a 7.3 I've recently gone through the entire pickup module in my tank, and would prefer to just route it through the standard top-draw to maintain the smooth lower profile, less chance to hit stuff with it. ;-)
Will I route the intake AND the return to that pump? I'm under the impression that the return port is largely unnecessary, although I'll be glad to route it back.
If you put this air dog pump on wouldn't it be best to delete the factory pump, on 2012 ford. All video show them hook to factory pump.
I just installed a 4g 165 and you cant hear it at all unless you're under the truck!
Trying to see if the air dog ii 4g does the same thing as the fass ad far as air, water and dirt separation. Looking to put something lime this on my 04 5.9 cummins
Crap ton: is that 2000# as well? How about the beans sump in mud and snow, will it be exposed to damage when it gets deep?
It be nice if they made black filters which would be less noticeable
New Lion paint them or wrap them with vinyl. Just a thought
That was a good argument for AirDog. I’m guessing you have to do a stock fuel delete of some sort. If so, any recommendations and is it difficult? Thanks for sharing.
Greg, where did you source the stainless steel lines and fittings running from your sump to your Airdog? Local shop make them or did you make them yourself?
QUESTION,QUESTION....
i have a 02 5.9L cummins
i like to install an air dog fuel system.,
this is the right one.?
this is what i need.,or i have to buy some more things.?
please let me know.
tengo una 02 dodge ram 5.9L 24valve cummins
quiero instalar un sistema de combustible
pueden ayudarme y eviten si esta es la que necesito ?
o no es suficiente y necesito comprar algo más.??
I installed the beans diesel, the air dog, and the fleece. after installing it I started having trouble starting it. Any tips, or ideas on what I need to do?
Will cat fuel filters fit on the air dog??
Have you ever done or thought about building a duramax
QSX JOHN The thought has crossed my mind for sure, just have always bought cummins but I am a fan of newer fords and duramaxs as well. There might be some power stroke and duramax stuff showing up on the channel from time to time.
Sick channel man! 👍Wondering what's the lift and tire specs on ur brothers megacab?
Mario M Thanks! It is stock height in the front, lowered in the rear and rims are 20x12 with a 32 in diameter Nitto Terra Grapplers.
hey man great videos..I have a 06 6 speed so this is a perfect channel..thanks..I have the original 100 gph airdog ..with pump failures with them do to seal leaks is there anything I can do to help prevent this from happening..thanks
I don't think there is much you really can do unfortunately but I think with an original 100 you might not need to worry about it, if its been on there for awhile then you might be good. It was really only some of the 165's before the 4G's came out that were the issue.
Have you ever had a problem with picking up any of the trash in the bottom of the tank with the sump
Even if you are picking up crap from the bottom of the tank, you now have 3 filters to remove it, instead of relying on just one that already exists on a stock truck, so not to worry. Thats the purpose of the filters.
is the motor brushless?
I love your 2008
Do you need to drop the tank or get to the fuel pump if u use a sump
Hello sir ,, I have an II 4g 100 system in my Silverado,, but i also wanna install an pressure gauge,, my question is how do I find out how much pressure my lift pump is pushing??? Anyone? thanks 🙏
Hey man awesome video , I'm looking to get a pump myself really kinda made my decision for me . Was curious what did you paint your mirrors with? Soo tired of the faded black plastic look on my 05 .
I had a body shop do them for me, so I believe there is a special primer they lay down after prep and then they get treated like any other body part.
PlastiDip works great.
Yeah that hole straw pickup sucks
I had a Fass system installed on my 2015 6.7 , well shortly after it was installed the tube fell off !
I wished I’d seen this first Greg
What a mess ,thx for the heads up👍
Maybe I misunderstood, but the Airdog didn't change the straw situation you experienced with the FASS. The Bean sump would.
Do you need to buy a heater for the airdog??
What are your thoughts on running a higher GPH lift pump than you need, to leave room for future gains?
My end-goal is 650hp which would put me in 150 GPH territory, but with the truck being nearly stock (just CAI, H&S tuner & 20% injectors) should I wait on a lift pump until turbo & tuning catches up?
('06 Cummins)
Competitors have shown airdog filtration to be horrible. I don't always believe what I see, even if it looked like a legit comparison. But I also would expect if this other manufacturer was making false claims over this product....AirDog would have buried this competitor by now. I say this because I'm looking to make this upgrade. Do you have any information refuting this?
Great video!!!
Thank you!
Hey Greg, I don't know if you already covered it but, in the vid you showed that you can adjust the pressure. How do you know what the correct pressure you need is? I don't wanna have to much or to little but that sweet spot.
@arie the1manparty : Ideal is 20 psi at idle. You need a pressure gauge hooked up.
What happened to black market performance I thought that’s what you were running on your truck
Just wondering why you chose a stack over out the back exhaust?
Only because certain tracks require the exhaust on diesel trucks to point straight up, so the stack made it easier.
It’s also significantly better for your engine due to EGT going up and out like gases are supposed to instead of traveling up and sticking to the top of your straight back exhaust
Good vid thank you!!!
Strange, doing some research for my Next Cummins and I found this Video... Ha!
Can you use cat filters with air dog
yes I use Cat ir 751. 2 micron absolute, You have to remove 2 tabs that you see when you remove stock filter then it will fit. Ive been using this combo for a while now
turbocrzy0823 I have a airdog 2 4g and didn't have to remove the tabs. I think they're making them like that now.
Are u making the install video soon? I am putting both the beans sump and air dog 4g on my truck and would like to be able to follow what u do to better my work
I am trying to get to it, but this winter weather and snow really slows down production lol I am "hoping" within a week.
GREG_ALBERALLA thanks so much that would be much helpful! Love ur videos!
Hey so I have a 2007 Silverado 2500 hd gas and it’s lifted and I’m getting 9 miles to the gallon. Is there a tuner or something I could buy so save more gas without lowering my truck??????
Just traded my 2007.5 2500hd crew cab in on a diesel because of the horrible mpg 9.5 driving and 7mpg while towing 7k pound trailer. Truck would struggle to hold overdrive on hwy also got on my nerves kicking down all the time from 6th to 5th gear at 70mph and 4th gear at 3300 rpm while pulling hills on highway
More air re entering the system 😮. The diesel returning from the motor to the tank is hot and contributes to keep the diesel warm. I think this is all BS.
You said they got talk around having bad pumps?? i’d rather not buy it lol
4 years later - still feel the same?
Now more than ever IMO
Are these ment just for more fuel for more power or do they also help with component life
They help with just about every aspect when it comes to the fuel system. Consistent fuel flow at a set pressure to the injection pump(s). Pump isn’t working as hard to get the fuel from the lift pump compared to the in tank pump. Increasing the life of the injection pump. The filters are generally a lower micron than the factory fuel filter and water separator. Helping take a lot debris and water out of the fuel before it makes it to your pump and into your injectors to cause damage. They also help with removing air from the fuel. Even a completely factory truck adding an air dog could benefit.
Can we not see a start up or burnout or something
Airdog is better in my opinion I mean they were the original lift pump 🤷🏻♂️
