Love my Air Dog but would probably like a FASS too. Six of one 1/2 a dozen on the other? The mount on my Air Dog makes it hang below the bed rails so off road clearance is a bit reduced.

I don't agree with that, mine barely hangs down below the frame at all and I mounted it right behind the skid plate so it'd be pretty hard to hit anything.

The FASS used bigger filters so it would hang down more I think.

And I'll stick with Airdog...

Its quieter, lifetime warranty, more up to date, and I agree I like the filters high up (since I have a 2wd). I have also seen Charlie and Airdog strive to make changes to satisfy the customer, they seem more concerned on making their product better for us. I haven't seen a major revision done on Fass to reduce noise, and I know it can be done.

So I'll stick to the company who tries to bring satisfaction the most.

question for you MITUSA guys. Can you mount that thing up on the top side of the motor? I do go offroad and the last thing I need is mud to get up in there and throw a belt and do damage to the pump or pulley.

Opie makes a bracket to mount it up top but its only for Dual CP3's!! You could get crafty and build a shield for it!!

Pumps

I believe it's a personal decision, mechanical or electrical. I'm sure someone else may have some other pros and cons to add. On a side note I think both systems are good.

Mechanical pros:
Extreme pump longevity.
Mechanical lift pump increase output and pressure to match engine RPM.
Zero noise.

Cons: Can't (that I know of) be used with Fluidampr brand balancers.

Electrical pros:
High pressure / fuel filtration system in compact package.
Easier to install.

Cons:Noise and ordering filters.
