2007 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9l Cummins customer had an old FASS lift pump on the truck that hit some debris in the road because it hung down too low. It had pulled the threads on the lift pump housing so we opted to replace it with a brand new air dog 100 5g pump. This time we installed it as high as we could on the frame.

This is a project we took on that we named “operation blue bus”. It’s a 1974 Volkswagen type 2 Bus (4speed) with a Type 4 1.8l engine. Everything was pretty much factory besides someone switching it to a single progressive Weber carb instead of the original dual solex carbs. We began to assess the condition of everything in which we started with the engine, she was rough. We didn’t even attempt to start it, drained the oil and found water mixed. Found gaskets and fuel lines cracked. It was time to pull the engine. I’ll be posting more pictures and updates in the future.
