Airdog II-5G 165 GPH Air Fuel Separation Lift Pump 98.5-04.5 Dodge 5.9L Cummins W/In-Tank PumpThe 98. 5 02 2nd Gen Cummins got a pretty bad rap over the years for failed VP44 injection pumps, many claiming it was one of the worst decisions ever made to mate this supposed failure prone pump on a Cummins powered Ram. Now, was it really the VP44's fault, or was the engine bay mounted lift pump really the culprit? In most cases, the failure of the low output lift pump causes the demise of the injection pump.

The 98.5-02 2nd Gen Cummins got a pretty bad rap over the years for failed VP44 injection pumps, many claiming it was one of the worst decisions ever made to mate this supposed failure prone pump on a Cummins powered Ram. Now, was it really the VP44's fault, or was the engine bay mounted lift pump really the culprit? In most cases, the failure of the low output lift pump causes the demise of the injection pump. And to make matters worse, they continued to use a similar lift pump placement all the way through the 2004.5 model years before going to a higher output in-tank lift pump. So how do you really fix one of these trucks for good? Easy, ditch the in tank stock lift pump and upgrade to an AirDog!
The AirDog II-5G is an all in one premium fuel pump and filtration system for your 1998.5-2004.5 Cummins diesel. This system removes water, particulates, and entrained air from the diesel fuel. The entrained air that is separated from the fuel is returned to the tank through a small return fitting. The fuel is delivered to the engine at the correct pressure and flow rate to meet the demands of the engine under all operating conditions.
The AirDogII-5G DF-165 systems feature a built in adjustable diaphragm pressure regulator. All AirDog II-5G systems include a complete installation kit. The AirDog II-5G, for this particular application, is preset at 17 psi from the factory for a stock application. The regulator is adjustable up to 55 PSI so you can fine tune the system to perfectly match up to your current and future performance upgrades.
HOW IT WORKS:
The AirDog II-5G DF-165 draws fuel from the fuel tank through a 1/2” suction line to reduce the risk of cavitation at the pump. The fuel is then drawn through the water separator where 92% of water is removed per SAE spec 1488. It is then pressurized through a Gearotor pump and sent to the 2 micron fuel filter before it is sent to the injection pump. The air from aerated fuel, due to tank sloshing and engine return lines, is separated and sent back to the tank through the 3/8” return fitting. The excess fuel that the engine does not use is recirculated through the diaphragm regulator back to the suction side of the pump.IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING IN-TANK FUEL PUMP:
This specific AirDog unit is designed for trucks featuring the in-tank
lift pump. For those unaware, all of the 1998.5-2004.5 Cummins powered
Rams came from the factory with a block mounted lift pump. However, if
it ever failed and had it replaced previously, it very likely was
retrofitted to the newer design that actually placed the pump in the
fuel tank. If you're not sure where your pump is located, simply "bump"
the key, which will engage the pump, then listen whether the hum from
the pump is coming from the engine compartment or the fuel tank.

Definitely a tough toy
Color: Blue
This is one of the few toys my
Boxer/american bulldog mix hasn’t been able to tear apart. He loves chewing on it and I love that he doesn’t chew on stuff he shouldn’t.
I have such an issue with toys being torn apart the day I bring them home. I wish there was a safe way for it to have a squeaker since he loves squeakers but I don’t think that is possible.

Croc-sational
Color: Blue
My tough chewer is OBSESSED with Croc. Stands up well, small particles occasionally come off but this beats going thru 3 stuffies in an hour. Good value, easy to clean and great for our 91lb pitty

Withstands very aggressive chewing
Color: Blue
We have a very active and aggressive chewer. Items identified for aggressive chewers are “Gone in 60 Seconds”. This toy is amazing. It has withstood Jake’s many attempts to destroy it and is one of his favorites! It is not hard like acrylic but is hard rubber with some give decreasing risk of fractured teeth. Best toy yet!!!

Well loved
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
We just got this sweet girl from the shelter a few days ago. She's had this toy for 2 days and already chomped off one of the legs. She does have other toys so she doesn't play with this one all the time but she does like it a lot! It's very hard and durable on the ends. But as you can see, it's not indestructible. She carries this little guy around the house like they're BFFs. It's super adorable.

Dog likes it, but is very hard material around smaller dogs when he is playing and running
Color: Blue
My 22lb dog loves this chew. We have owned it just for one day. He immediately loved it and he races through the house holding it in his mouth like a grand prize.
I have concerns to the hardness of the ends of it, the material is very hard, and the tail comes to an end shape that could hurt other pets in a multidog home if it hit or stuck in them. I have two smaller chihuahua dogs, one who has lost an eye so this is something to be careful about with other dogs running with this toy. This may not affect a one dog home. Best to observe the dog while playing with it around others.
