After all the reading I have done I am more confused now on which I should get. I put a fuel pressure gauge in and found that at wot fuel pressure will drop below 40psi. That is with ID Xtreme Steet. I use that tune as my DD. Thinking the Airdog II would do fine for me until reading about it failing. Most of the time my truck is used for hauling my toyhauler all over the place so now I am thinking of the Airdog 100 or 150 piggybacked off the stock pump in case the Airdog failed on me miles from home.
My questions are which one would be better 100 or 150?
Will I need to worry about fuel pressure drop with the 100 or 150?
I am running stock turbo and at the most I would install tow injectors in the future. Would I need anything else to go with the Airdog 100 or 150?
I think either 100 or 150 should suite you just fine. Regulated return and sump pump would be a nice thing to add to go with it althogh its ot required.
You drop below 40 psi which isnt good of course but how often do you really go wot with it? I find it very rare and a dog my truck? Fuel pumps are great insurance but not always needed but if going with a bigger injector ill vote for 150

The AD2 is a 165 pump... and has a built in adjustable regulator... I see no need in spending almost the same money for just a pusher pump. That's just me though...
My reason for a pusher pump over the Airdog2 is I have heard of the Airdog2 crapping out. I spend a lot of time in the backwoods and would hate for that to happen. Atleast wwith the stock unit I can still drive out. Again being that I spend a lot of time offroad I would prefer not to do a sump as well. If the original Airdog will keep my fuel pressure in check then I am good with one of those.
I think they're pretty isolated incidents. Are you going to carry an extra set of 8 injectors in the truck, or a spare transmission? I mean we really can't plan around failures of parts. The Airdogs seem to be quite reliable compared to the older FASS units that everyone had issues with. I hear you, it would suck to be broke down out in the middle of no where. Tough call. I guess a pusher would work, but you're not getting that adjustable regulator like the AD2 offers. I believe you'd have to order internal springs to mess with that.
I probably worded that wrong because I know nothing about these things other than what I have read on here. Put an Airdog I as a pusher to my stock fuel pump will that be enough to keep my fuel pressure in check? Will it come like that from Airdog or will I have to adjust it to get the right pressure?

It will but thats where the questions come in that i cant answer. Like will it burn either pump? Will it come like that from Airdog or will I have to adjust it to get the right pressure?It will come ready to do work
I have an airdog II on my truck and I completely removed the stock pump. My fuel pressure stays between 65psi and 68psi at idle then at WOT with x race tune the lowest I have seen is roughly 52psi.
I think IRONTX on here just had one go out, AD sent him a new unit though. I know I've read of one other recently, but it's really isolated. Doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad as the FASS issues I read about everywhere.
That said, I've been running a FASS pump on my vegistroke, which is at it's design limits, pushing heated WVO, way past where it should be, and it's still kicking. From 2008... Even had a year off sitting in a box uncleaned still piled up with all the WVO it was pushing. Put it back on a new truck and it's still kicking now. I'm running 85psi out of it. Take that FWIW.
OK I think I am set on the Airdog150. I will put in a sump later if I need to. Question is will I have any issues with the 150 if I run the truck in stock tune?
I am only thinking the 150 because I may in the future got with some tow injectors but I may never do so. And last is a RR needed?
I was in the same boat as you last week. Over the weekend I ordered the same setup RescueF250 has. between this site and powerstroke.org i came across a few people having or have had issues with the ADII
