Or even an Airdog or Fass. I have a new cummins one on my truck but these are a diaphram pump and don't live as long as the piston pumps. You will need a little beefier clutch as well to handle the extra power.

Ryan, All this is tempting but sure is complicating things. Are you saying it won't hold 40mph in the mts or steep hills towing unless I do this? Just going for a simple build here, truck will probably only log 5000 mi a year in reality. Just want enough to do the basics, and keep total additional expenses under $2k. I think I'll invest in a new or better clutch setup as this one was a tad "hoppy" starting out.
