I installed a water pump and used the Empire crankshaft pin kit. That kit is good insurance and it was super easy to do
Had to trouble shoot my airdog this afternoon. Picked the boys up from school and it wouldn't start. Turn key on and go.crsck bleeder and nothing. Popped the 20 amp fuse between relay and motor. What would cause that?

He is a licensed dog trainer now. That's the only way the city would let him keep 200 dogs. Wonder how he gets all of them on his boat when he goes fishing?
I figured it was the motor. I put a new fuse in and it started up and drove home. I do know that the whole "flow through design" is a crock of shit. I couldn't prime the truck to save my life...new fuse and fired right up but had a really lopey idle for about 30 seconds. Can I check that seal or is the one I'm thinking of the seal for the cover over the gearator

Can't service or check motor shaft seal. Need to get warranty replacement motor from air dog.
Bastards. Still doesn't explain why a new fuse let the air dog run again. I'll have to crawl under and investigate it further tomorrow

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Blown fuse for air dog while towing wife's car from VA back to FL. I got a CEL about 15 miles from home for low fuel rail pressure while passing a log truck on a two lane road. Air Dog swapped it no problem. I took the old one and couldn't tell any issues turning it by hand. Their warranty is worth the purchase. I'm on my 3rd motor and the only question they ask me is where I want it shipped. As far as the flow thru goes.... I haven't had any issues with that either. Both replacement motors took several days for shipping but truck cranked and ran fine while I waited on UPS. I had to watch the rail pressure gauge till the new one arrived. Now I carry a pack of 20A fuses in my glove box. I figure it'll happen again soon enough.

I dunno about that Brock....I run a sump and if I pull the feed line after the pump, fuel pours out...also, my rig runs "fine" without the AirDog running...I pull the fuse when I update tuning cuz the AD is set up to come on with the key on (some run it on a switch) I've fired it up and even driven it numerous times and forgot to plug the AD back in...the truck does fall on it face in the bigger tunes tho...
Now see, I had figured he end up herding "cats"
. I mean, he IS Johnny, after all. :roflmao:
It will blow again and melt the fuse holder. The motor is over amp drawing bc of the fuel in the windings and brushes.
I know how electric motors work...I don't understand why it started fine 15 min prior at my house. Just over 1/4 tank level ground. Wouldn't fire and smoked fuse but I was uphill. Truck has no sump...I doubt that is it and I'm sure the motor is trashed but at this point I'm thinking out loud. What do you think the odd are of me getting a warranty motor without a warranty card lol

Pretty good, air dog is a great company. I've never sent in a card and they have sent me a few motors for my truck and a couple buddies.
Perfect...I'll pray first as I don't have da $$$ for one right now. But thank you for all the help fellas...love this sight

Airdog is sending me a new motor. Synthetic Motorsports emailed me the purchase receipt and I emailed the tech. He called 2min later asking where it's being sent. Very good customer service.

Oh I forgot to post these. So when I crawled under the truck to get the serial number for the AD I noticed oil film sprayed everywhere. It's coming from the transfer case seal. Last may I put a new output bushing in and a new output seal, filled with 2 quts 5w-30 mobil synthetic and no issues. So question is do you guys think I might need a new slip yoke? Also put new u joints in the rear driveshaft at that time and the are still tight...only 4800 miles on everything. Here are the pics

It's was smooth as a whistle and nice and shiney. I didn't feel any ridges or grooves if you will with my fingernail. I however didn't put calipers or a micrometer on it to check for size imperfections, not sure if that is a possible next step. I read somewhere there is a update yoke? Nickel plated or something, not sure if that's right or not. But being that is a vital piece to the drivetrain I figured I'd best ask when experience is lacking there.

surprised how much the price went up from when i bought it 2 years ago. originally they were 65 bucks. i replaced mine as the splines were starting to knife edge some.
