Air Dog Install Question

Air Dog Install Question
First off, thanks to Pure Flow for offering to carry over the sale through January 2008.
I have an 07 Dodge 5.9L, Edge EZ, CAI, want new exhaust/stacks, intake, etc. Does the Air Dog 100 meet my needs? (Just a few bolt-on mods, nothing extreme.)
To install the Air Dog, do you have to drop the fuel tank? (Or lift the bed?)
Are there advantages and disadvantages to keep the fuel plumbed through the existing filter bowl? Our Dodge's have some kind of fuel heater and a water sensor in the filter bowl?
If no problem to keep the filter bowl, is their a problem to keep a filter in it? Does fuel running through this added filter/cavity "cavitate" and stir up the fuel mixing air back in? Or someway other cause issues?
Thanks

I wish I had experience with the Airdog but I dont
I will say that the OEM filter housing has a heater and a WIF sensor in it and IMHO you should try to keep it in service just for those features......myself I would run with a filter in there too even though the Airdog has its own filters and air/water seperator
as far as how they hook up to the tank I dunno what the kit comes with..does it have a whole new pickup assembly
I would love to do one so I could give a full blown tech article with pics.............................drive up here man so we can do it

I don't know what comes with the kit either.
And as for a road trip to Wyoming... I'd figure 2500 miles r/t to San Antonio. Or $600 in fuel. Another $75 for a winter coat for me. I get about 19 mpg on the highway in the hill country. Nah, I'll pass, but thanks for the offer... maybe if the price of fuel comes down. (Or actually the value of the dollar goes back up)

Yes, the 100gph system will be more than adequate for your set up and will be good enough to handle much more. With the 100gph or less systems you can use the existing factory lines and and connections at the sending unit. With the 150gph + sustems you have to drop the tank and install a larger pick up tube and line. Keeping the existing filter with WIF sensor is fine and the AirDog will actually increase its life expectancy. The purpose of the AirDog system is to remove entrained air and provide a positive pressure on the fuel system to the IP. No air can cavitate under these conditions.

My thoughts are the same with regards to the OEM Filter housing, heater and WIF sensor... but, like a propeller in water spinning cavitates and puts air into the wake or something similar for fuel/air or other. (Or I'm talking out my butt.) That's why I asked though.

Thanks for the info... as for the existing intank LP, if I use the existing plumbing, how do I remove the LP or bypass it?

The OEM lift pump is a sorry excuse for a pump that there ever was

absolutly....the OEM lift pump needs removed and placed under the tire of yer truck.......install the Airdog then run over the OEM pump multiple times as to totally remove it from service in the future for anybody
