Stranded on the side of the road

Dieselcraft · May 6, 2012

So I installed the new ad2 pump on my air dog Thursday
Iv been watching the psi it's been real good.
So saterday I want to hit the midnkights
I make a few passes everything is good
Just need to get ore stage worked out
I launch the truck I have no power I am pissed
Nothing caught my eye in the mix of the issue
I drive home get on the hi way I accel no power
No fuel psi. I pull over check all wiring fuse all hot no pump working
So here I am broke down waiting for a Freind to bring me a hfcm at 4 am

I am not happy at all
What a P O S

I know the feeling, mine just went out a couple of Weeks ago when I was on my way to Ennis. But my pump was 6 years old. hope you get it all sorted out, and they take care of you.

I heard of some problems with their stuff,so I instead ran a filter system with a in line 250flow and up to 90 psi fuel pump after filter to the stock pump.My fuel psi never goes down more than 2 psi at first wot hit,and then recovers to 65psi full within seconds.The best part is if the inline pump fails I still have the stock pump,and if the stock pump fails I still have the inline pump,either one has enough power to run the fuel.Both pumps would have to fail to leave me broke down.Just something to think about,not alot of guys use this set up,but work really good for me.

yupp!! .. if you dont want to go that route, at least upgrading the wiring harness to something worthy of handling that pump. 10 gauge wire, wha air dog uses is way to wimpy.

My brother has an A1000 for his 6.4 and its a really good pump. As soon as i can i am going to replace my AD2 with one..

stackedstroker · May 6, 2012

My ad150 went out at about 1 year and 10,000 miles, the motor runs but doesn't pump any fuel! And my dumba$$ forgot to fill out the warranty card and send it in! So now there's a 600$ paper weight on my shelf! I've been meaning to take it apart and see what's bad but its probably not worth it!

Dieselcraft · May 6, 2012

Yea I'd use your ad150 as a fancy paper weight
I'm going to call air dog Monday

MorganY · May 6, 2012

Do you have the bigger draw straw installed?

Sorry,still up after 24hrs,one of those I thought I typed and didn't moments.But like I said before at least you have two pumps,and I didn't have to go to the bigger fuel tube.I'm running 175/75 injectors from Dozer's and I haven't had a problem,last 3 months.(when installed):ford:

DBQLSC · May 7, 2012

Sorry to hear about your luck. I know the holley dominator pumps are supposed to be pretty good and rated at 3000hrs. on diesel. Food for thought.

Talked to air dog.
To say the least I am not a happy customer

Dieselcraft · May 7, 2012

Told me to inspect gerotar gears for debris
I'm going to inspect and go from there.

What a P O S

it might not be the pumps fault..check the wiring by the pump where it Y's off for the extra connector..a few of my buddies had this same issue. theres a crimp connector for the ground that comes loose.
