How about someone explain the pressure drop thing for this guy?? Are you referring to the difference in pressure between the pump's suction and discharge?? Are you referring to the fuel pressure you are reading (say when the vehicle is at temp, because we all know fuel pressure will drop slightly as it heats up) when the filters are brand new and then after driving for a while the pressure isnt as high as it was before so you change the filters?? A little detail here would be nice.
Im just looking for a good milage mark to change the filters......just like everyone else does the filter every 5000 miles or two oil changes. Someone just give me an estimate number?
change them at 40k miles.... that work for you? Seriously, YOU really need to plan YOUR OWN maintenance schedule for YOUR truck, not what we think.
I will however make a suggestion and replace the AD2 filters every 10k MAX, just because its "2 micron" doesnt mean it will last forever.. dont forget the lower the micron the more it catches the dirtier it gets.
I would definitely monitor my fuel pressure and see how they were doing with the oem change interval, if not sooner possibly.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I see both sides here and wouldnt go solely on miles alone but would look at what your pressure is doing. I would submit to you that probably most guys change theirs in accordance with the oem filters. JMO.
No Sir. I changed the filters, cranked it ,check for leaks and took off for the store it died a block away from the house. Adam told me fill the filter and it fired up. It's cranked on the first try ever since.
I'd be calling air dog because mine prime just fine with koeo when I change them. Replace the filters and turn key on and crack the bleeder on the fuel/water seperator filter shouldn't take more then a few seconds to have a steady stream coming out.
Ill look into running a tee and getting an inside gauge soon.
