Well last night after work I pulled the bed off my truck and installed the Air Dog lift pump I had sitting in the shop for two weeks now. All I can say is it went smoothly and I am very pleased with the results. The pump is a 150/150 and it was suprisingly quiet to me especially after hearing about all the talk of the pumps being loud. I could barely hear it hum when the truck is off and just the pump is running.:eek: I went all out and even installed the 5/8" draw straw it came with.:cool2: When I took the sending unit out I noticed a piece of the sending unit was actually laying in the bottom of the tank.:confused: WTF, those damn GM tech's.:mad: Besides the missing frame bracket out of the kit, it went pretty good. I just fabbed up my own frame bracket. The pump made a huge difference for power on the top end. It pulls hard now when the fuel is really flowing at the higher RPM's. I can successfully run my bigger tune now.:secret: I took pics and hopefully I can get them posted up here tonight.:) Thanks all:):hello:

I was wondering what that crap was that was stuck on it?:confused: Looked to me like the box itself had ripped away on the bottom when the UPS guy dropped it off, and the bracket must have slide out the crack!:eek: Must being laying on the floor in one of the freight trucks! I called pure flow direct, told them what I found and what was missing from my kit, and they jumped to and said they would send me the bracket right away.:) I love a company that has great customer service and cares about the consumer.:hug: I also want to add I must have gotton their revised kit because all the fittings were the newer ones that work great and the instructions were a little more detailed then what people claim. There were alot of detailed pics too. Thanks again pure flow!:D

I think it definately made a huge difference on my truck, and I would highly recommend it to all that run a big tune on their trucks.;) It is hands down, money well spent for the much improved power level I now have in my truck.:D

So you re-routed the return to the factory supply like I suggested. Did you cut the flex tube off of the sending unit or leave it in place?

Ya' man. Thanks too. I like the idea of leaving the big filler tube alone. I didn't really want to go cutting on that. The new hole in top of the tank was enough for me. Yeah, I cut the flex tube and zip tied it to the outside of the cup aimed toward the bottom of the tank. I just got my new bracket in teth mail too. Thanks Pureflow.:)

congrats, kinda wish you would've done it a long time ago right.

wait till you guys see the new ADII demand flow kits, you thought the fittings in these kits looked high class, the new ones are all custom made aluminum. they do have top notch cust service.

Good pics. What about some of where the new fittings tie into the OEM system? You know, supply, and return lines. Thanks bro.:)

well there really isn't a whole lot that has changed from the previous design. the return now goes back through that special fitting right into the sending unit. the suction now pulls through the sending unit and not a draw tube. and the feed line goes right into the same feed line above the fuel cooler.

I was just curious of the method they used at teh sending unit in the tank and mods, if any, done to it. IE, which ports they used, and if they modded the pick-upcup. Thanks alot man:)

no problem man. they actually don't have you mod anything w/ the stock sending unit which is nice. the suction goes into the factory suction and the return goes back through the factory return. thus never having a 1/4 tank problem.
