I'm looking at the Airdog system. The Fass dealer here says the Airdogs are plastic. What parts on the Airdog are plastic compared to my Fass? And does this affect any performance or longevity issues down the road? 
correct, any company that puts down Airdog believe me, only sells FASS. we have delt w/ both companies and in the end choose to carry Airdog for a reason. they make a great kit and if you look at my thread about the comparison between the two it speaks for itself.There is nothing plastic on the AirDog. The AirDog is a superior product and always has been.
A good example of this is a CR truck running a modded CP3. A 100GPH glacier or AirDog will feed a Modded CP3, but it takes a special FASS 150 set at 40 psi to keep up with it. Even running the FASS 150 set at 40psi, it would drop to 20psi under full fuel. The AirDog100 set on 18-20 psi would support it just fine with no pressure drop. When the modded CP3s came out guys were told to upgrade to a 150 or even larger FASS. They assumed the AirDogs and Glaciers would not handle it, so they were telling AirDog/Glacier owners they would have to switch to a FASS. The truth is the only guys that had to step up to a FASS 150 were guys running a FASS 95. The AirDog has been a very good system and has proven to outperform comparable products (FASS 95) as well as what should be a higher performing system (FASS 150).
I've seen a modded cp3 suck an airdog100 down to 10psi and a walbro down to 0psi.There is nothing plastic on the AirDog. The AirDog is a superior product and always has been.

:agree2:I think you have an install issue. They do not drop when installed properly.
There are alot of things making them superior, but to list a few:
More compact package
1/2 inch lines (exactly the same stuff as a Vulcan Big Line Kit)
superior filtration (2 micron filter and prefilter with water separator)
superior air removal
better finish
quieter (much quietier than a FASS)
There used to be several other things, but FASS has copied that stuff - such as the FASS return flow issue and wiring
The reason a AirDog 100 was sucked down is it uses the stock pickup tube in the tank... Where a AirDog 150 uses a draw straw (1/2") pickup tube and the stock tube in no longer used... When I first hook up my AirDog I didn't have the time for the installation of the draw straw. So I ran it hooked up to my stock pickup assembly... I could suck it down to 10-12 PSI easy with my Edge Comp on 5x5... But now with the draw straw no longer happening...I've seen a modded cp3 suck an airdog100 down to 10psi and a walbro down to 0psi.
What makes an airdog superior in it's construction? All I hear is that it's built better but I have yet to see any proof that it's built better.
Not trying to start a fight, I'm just curious and want some details.
Don't get me wrong I wasn't aiming to start a war either... But normally when I got warranty issues I normally contact the manufacture... Not a dealer... Like when my Edge Comp died I contacted Edge Products to deal with the problem not Diesel Nut Motorsports (which was the site sponsor that sold it to me.)weve got dan from fass on the forum everyday helping customers out. Not tryin to start another war, but dan does an excellent job of taking care of customers here.
When was the last time Chrysler took your call, without you seeing the local dealer first? Fass wants LOCAL support, it's their idea of getting results faster...:agree2:
As with a FASS system even there web site will NOT give out contact information. :thud:The company will not deal directly with a customer or warranty issue... The site request you contact your local dealer... :w:
My FASS is quieter than the stock pump.airdog is loud compared to the stock pump
my stock lift pump i could only hear with the door open and the hood up, the air dog i can hear prime when i get in. the few people i know with the fass system are LOUD, you can hear the pump while driving, let alone idling, over straight pipes. either way, i see no reason to pay over $100 more for a fass.My FASS is quieter than the stock pump.
