Air dog question

dm33 · 09-14-2011, 02:26 PM

I have an air dog system on my 2001 2500 dodge ram. I just took it to the shop and they say I need a new injection pump because it sucked air and burned it up. The mech. told me there where no check valves on the air dog and that I need to go back to the pump in the tank and not the air dog. Is this true and has anyone had the same thing happen? Thanks

Hes stupid..Does your truck start or have you tryed bleeding the lines to start it? what is your fuel pressure?
Airdog is 100x better then stock.

It runs just barely. It's throwing all the death codes. Pump is only 16 months old. Top speed 25 shakes and bucks and blows a ton of white smoke.

your vp may be fried, but it is not your airdogs fault. What psi was your airdog running at? The guy at the shop you went to is retarded

dm33 · 09-14-2011, 05:53 PM

My programmer said 34 psi.

That is a bit high fuel pressure to run for a VP

What is the right PSI for the VP???? Hi and low
Thanks

Most say not to run below 10psi at WOT but you would want to hold the pressure you have the lift pump set to at WOT, this doesn't usually happen maintaining the pressure is your goal and on the high side you are sending most of the fuel through the return back to the tank and heating the fuel in your tank if you are running more than about 20-22 unless you are running a modded VP that really can use the extra supply

Low 10 psi High 20 psi

What codes are you getting? Have you reset your APPS? Sounds like the mechanic is not well informed. Feel free to call me as well for some help with trouble shooting the VP44 problem if there is indeed a problem.
