AirDog(R3SBD100) Raptor Lift Pump

98.5-2002 model year easy installation and solution to poor lift pump performance. A mechanically inclined person can install this pump in one to two hours onto the stock mounting location. It's essentially plug and play. Follow the manufacturers installation instructions and remove the air intake horn and fuel filter canister to create ease of access. All necessary parts are included. After approximately 500 miles of driving it's performing flawlessly. The 100 gallon per hour pump is more than adequate for my model year 02, 24 valve high output Cummins. Costs only $100 more than the OEM 35 GPH Carter style pump you find at the local auto parts store.

Pump was easy to install. Fit directly in the factory mounts, my carter pump lasted 366,000 miles, had to pull it because it couldn't keep pressure above 10psi, installed raptor pump and set it at 17 psi. And at WOT it dripped to 12psi.... we'll see how long it lasts

Item came as advertised complete with all parts and full instructions. Unfortunately 1 of the fuel line connectors was broken and took another week to get a replacement. Other than that very happy with the pump.

good reputation as a replacement for old junk pumps

Product looks to be of good quality I don't know I've not been able to test it because they did not send me all the parts needed to hook it up to my truck! Item did come with diesel everywhere in the bag (they fill it up to keep it lubricated my guess) I'm missing the parts to hook it up from my tank supply line to the lift pump My truck is still down I'm unable to even run my truck quality control does not seem that good definitely look elsewhere if you can definitely look elsewhere if you can

Really glad I purchased this - fits great on my 2001 Dodge RAM. BE SURE to follow the instructions about making the hose from pump to filter housing, this was very helpful information. I did follow it and cut to the correct length of hose the first time but I should have installed the fittings outside of the installed position. It's pretty difficult even with oil added to the barbed fittings to get the hose over the second barb on each fitting. I got it but it took a lot of work. Otherwise this thing kicks butt and provides plenty of PSI even with my EDGE Attitude chip running on any one of the five power settings. No more beeping from the EDGE controller that I am low on PSI for the injector pump. So glad I won't have to worry about that anymore!

Great direct replacement for the horrible factory lift pump. This one is designed better and works like a champ. After it was installed I was amazed at how much power my truck had again. The gradual pressure loss of the old pump ( I don't have a pressure gauge to monitor it) wasn't that noticeable and the Cummins motor has so much grunt that it goes and goes regardless. But damn, after putting this pump in I am amazed how much power is there again.One warning, it is rough to install. I originally had a garage diagnose my problem and they suggested the Dodge redesign with a 3rd pump inside the tank to help out the lift pump that would now attach to the truck frame. That was $500 plus a ton of labor for a halfazzed setup. I researched and found this pump would directly replace the original pump without modifying anything, for $200 less. Overnight Prime shipping from Amazon was another plus. The manufacturer says install is 30 minutes. The NAPA certified garage I used took almost 3 hours. I thought that was outrageous and we negotiated it down to 1.5 hours, due to the need to set the pressure, etc. Even NAPA's website said less than an hour to swap out the fuel pump. But the mechanic said it was a tight space, etc. He didn't want to remove the fuel filter canister to make more space, even though I had authorized him to do that. So just be ready for the install to be a pain, but that is Dodge's fault, not AirDog.

I wouldn't say it was an "easy" install, as it was a tight fit. It took me about an hour on my 2002 Ram 2500.I bought the truck used, and the dirty dealer didn't disclose that the fuel pump and VIP were shot - they'd wiped the computer. I had both replaced after purchase, 8 years ago. Lately the truck has been a little sluggish when accelerating from a stop, so I figured it was time to replace the pump again.Research showed this pump highly rated, and watching videos the install looked fairly straight forward.I would recommend you attached the output hose before you mount the pump to the frame. That was the last step in the instructions, and it was a pain in the neck getting my arm down under the fuel filter to screw in the line. I ended up getting under the truck and working a wrench through a narrow opening to tighten it. Other than that, the hookup wasn't too difficult - just a lot of tight spaces.I can definitely tell a difference. The truck accelerates a lot more aggressively - the sluggishness I was observing is gone!

Pumps as it should. Sounds powerful. Strokes my ego.

Pump locked up with 1 year of light use.
