Default air dog does everbodys suck

ok is there anybody having problems with there air dog II pump going out. got one on a duramax work truck and it has went out 4 times in the last two mounths. they said that they burned up due to bad shaft seal. i want one for my 6.0 but dont want to be stuck on he side of the road due to a bad pump..

Haven't seen airdogs around here, but have seen quite a few FASS systems. The drivers I talk to seem to like them, no problems.

I've heard of way more issues with FASS than Airdog's. Nothing is perfect, some will fail no doubt about it.

Hard to say without knowing the specifics man... could be an install issue, or could be just the pump itself, I've heard of something similar and AD replaced the whole unit. FWIW, they seem to be very good about taking care of their customers.

AirDog 100 or 150 would be a better choice. ADII units have had a roller coaster career.

See....Up and down for the AD II units. It just doesn't make sense.
