I have followed more threads than I can count about dual fuelers. I am well aware of the pros and occassionally get to hear about the cons of dual fuelers. I was hoping that you guys running dual fuelers on preferably DD or work trucks would give your experiences with them....streetability, any RP issues, surging, failing pumps, harmonics, lines failing, etc.

Hey brett , hope all is well with the family , , I did get a chance to run my set up and put miles on but with my leak (boost side) ,had high egts so didn't really get to into it much ,only issue and its just at wot is throwing a code to replace the harness on the hpfp ? And was just certain times ,it does not cause any drop in rail pressure , I do like and am happy with the Diesel doctor kit , I would consider Midwest's kit over the others out there, good luck with your decision!! I see you have the itch for more fuel lol

i can say with my elite fuelers, they worked awesome, but until wayne messed with my lines, it sounded like a hovering helicopter. crazy harmonics sound. other than that , they worked well. from what ive seen, midwest kit is very simple and very efficient with no issues i have heard of .

I've got Elites dual pumps, and aside from more power, I would have no idea they were there. Mine don't make noise, surge or anything.

I've had Elites kit since it was created. Put about 60k miles on it and I've had the line vibration issue, just need to tweak the lines as each truck is a little different it seems. Elite has since addressed the issue of the pump mounts cracking, seemed to be very few failures though. I've had zero surge issues and like Jd said no driveability issues. I've got Midwest's kit as well and it's great to. Each kit offered fits a little different so for custom turbo kits certain kits work better than others.
Frank, all is well in good ole WV and the family is doing well. I did really good at resisting the temptation for more for a long time, but yeah, I am wanting a little more now. Thanks for the update and hope you get to enjoy your truck a little more after the year long hiatus.

I dd mine, never had a issue once I got it setup right. I messed up one belt as I didn't have the pulley lined up perfect when I first installed it. Mine is a dd kit.

I did countless hours of research when it came to choosing a dual fueler. First I started at the RCD kit because they make some killer products. I spoke to a few people about it and it boiled down to the fact that a CP3 pump is harder to tune than a K16.
That narrowed down my selection to the midwest kit, diesel dr and elite. My buddy has the elite on his truck and it's been great for him. He's not had any issues at all. However, I chose the midwest kit for several reasons:
1. Install is very simple
2. The brackets/hardware are refined (the diesel doctor isn't all that pretty looking)
3. Customer service - Morgan has gone above and beyond anything I could ever ask. He's provided me with all the information as well as the install guide so I could get a feel for the install.
4. Price - the price of the midwest kit is right where I wanted to be with regards to my budget.
Hope that helps!

x3. Probably the most honest and genuine person I've dealt with. He knows the ins and outs of every single piece he sells.
I appreciate the input. I have done quite a bit of research too and have come to many of the same conclusions as you. For me, it has always been Elite or Midwestern but that isn't why I started this thread. I always planned to stay stock on fuel, but when the opportunity came knocking (I am pretty sure my HPFP is getting weak), I hate to pass up the opportunity to upgrade since something is failing on me. It does p#ss me off that I have changed my fuel filters religiously every 5 to 7k miles (depending on the type of driving I had been doing) and my K16 started acting up at 46k miles and is getting worse.
:fustrate:
I have only had the opportunity to speak to him once, but couldn't agree more.
I have an elite kit, small issues with lines a fittings over the last couple years, both my fault but nice kit for sure
morgan is the man, his customer service is good as it gets and his kit is simple and effective.

What type of issues did you have with the lines?

As they say and I think it holds true. Simplicity is reliability. And morgan is definately a top notch guy. If and thats a big IF I ever do dual fuelers I will go with morgan's setup without a doubt!

I've got the DD kit. Good guys to deal with when I bought it. Installing the bracket is a little tricky with the bottom bolts. The bolts they supplied to bolt the 2 bracket halves together stripped on the second time I installed the kit. I used grade 8 bolts this time. That's the only problem I've had which isn't much of a problem.
