Airdog2 installed pic request

like the title says. the instructions are very vauge at best. i got the version with out the quick connects it was $100 cheaper. i know you need to remove the old lift pump and basically bolt it there but just curious how everyone ran thier lines and if you used the supplied mounting harware or made thier own.

i used the hardware that they supplied and wrapped the frame. we also changed out the quick connects and put on our own fittings.
there is one missing, i had to go look for that size fitting from somwhere else since its 1/4 i believe

Use the supplied mounting hardware. I bolted mine inside the frame rail about a foot or so farther back than the stock fuel pump. It's dark outside or I would take some pics for ya.

did you use the quick connect for the tank and such? also saw the y fitting with quick connects...or did you just ditch the quick connects going to the actual air dog itself. thanks sorry for so many questions.

we used the "Y" fitting since it connects to the factory stuff. i honestly cant recall what we did for the tank since it was changed out for a transfer-flo. im sure it was what came with the airdog.

the wiring is a bit tricky as well, there is a fuse that they have you use and connect to the battery. we cut the fuse off and cut a wire on the harness (cant recall which one) and connected that leaving the wire with the fuse open.

i also shortened all the wires by cutting and soldering them all together so i dont have a huge mess, but that was just me though. no need for that.

looks familiar again. what a clean frame

You should be able to quick disconnect right into the factory pick up with the supplied fittings with the bed on, its pretty easy to do, instructions do suck, put the pump as close to the tank as you can, pumps push better then they pull

thats what i kinda figured as i dont really want to drop the tank. some use a straw i guess which would probably flow more...i only want to make a couple hour project not a whole weekend.

not to derail, but whats the reasoning for the airdog? better filtration?

the main reason was the stock filter is a pain to change and i always take a fuel bath. but if i can get better milage thats a plus but not counting on it. why whats up?

im not sure ive heard of any mileage increases. also not sure why you would be taking a fuel bath if you drain it first, but that lower one is a bit of a pain for sure.

The factory pick up is 1/2 inch, so is the draw straw for fass or airdogs on other kits for gm or dodge, so factory pick up is a good way to go, PLUS you dont have to worry about cutting out the last 5 gallons of fuel like a draw straw can do sometimes.

You probably wont see an increase in milage but changing the filter is cake but be sure to carry spares cuz you cant find them just anywhere

id probably rather work in your garage if its gonna be as hot as its been. dropping the tank is way too easy if it needs to be done.

Garrett

Keep plenty of fuel in it man. I went with a hellman sump as well. Didn't take but one time to almost run out of fuel(just under 1/4 of a tank) before I fixed it.
