Are you feedingto both sides of the pump? I’ve never seen that before.

I think it’s good insurance. Some people in the industry say it doesn’t matter but the way the piston functions it makes sense to get water into both sides of the pump. I dual feed both my 8gpms but single feed with a 1” to my 5.5@2500. As far as a noticeable difference in performance 
Maybe.

Yes. From the buffer it goes 2” to a 1.5 “ banjo filter. That spiraflex is 1.5 too. It goes to the T and then 1” feed lines on both sides.

I dual feed mine as well but I couldn’t tell a difference. I agree with Alabama better to be safe than sorry.

Virtually impossible for the dual feeding to make any difference unless you actually had a 1" intake line break. 8 gpm pump only going to pump 8gpm if already at max rpms. A 1" line flows more than 20 gpm. Having 40 gpm possible flow not going to make it perform any better. Spend some time on some irrigation or water dynamics sites.

I couldn’t figure out how it would make much difference after having the pumps open. But the Udor paperwork says to dual feed.
Just never seen one dual fed until now.
After seeing the inside of pump head it appeared to my uneducated eye that due to the position of the pistons at any given time, dual feeding could actually limit suction.
But… I’m no engineer. If it works it works and that’s what’s actually recommended by the manufacturer.
@Chris Chis I believe had some single cab Tacoma’s set up as pressure washing rigs. Maybe he can share a picture of how they were set up if he still has it saved. I actually would like to see them again since I’m setting up a truck mount in a Toyota truck at the moment.

Local tech that has his business for sale.
How do you like the hose reel guides? Are they worth the $260?
I like them. I think I only paid $100 each tho.
Thank you!

Cant wait to get another truck so i can do a truck bed skid. I know you like big rears, have you seen racers new chevy 2500 with 8 foot bed? Should be a sweet rig when he builds it.
Do you have may problems waiting on water with that tank or are you dual feeding water to it?
Usually it’s fine for most residential we do. We dual feed a lot just to make sure. I’m about to build a flatbed dually myself to replace trailer.
Thank you!

Yo @Alabama will you please take your signature off? I clutters up the thread and some people consider that as advertising and only approved vendors are allowed to advertise on here. Thanks amigo.
ETA: Please post pics of your dually build. I’m headed there myself and would love to see what you come up with.

I have no idea why that’s coming up. I’ll see if I can remove it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
No problem amigo. Hopefully you can get it sorted out LOL with how finicky this site has been it may be a bit of work!
Ohhhh I know why it’s doing that!! I replied straight from my email instead of going to the app on my phone. This is my flatbed build. 95 ram 3500 with the 12 valve.

Ah, yep I bet that’s it. That’s a sweet truck. I want something a lot newer than that. Do you run two men to a truck? I assume you’ll have to with that being a regular cab.
I’m a small operation. It’s only me and a full time employee. He will drive the F150 and I’ll drive the ram. I’m looking for another employee right now but it’s pretty tough finding quality employees. I start them at $12/hr. After a 90 day probationary period they’re eligible for a raise up to $15 based on attendance, performance, quality, customer rapport. Then they’re eligible for another raise every 60 days. The truck will have a full frame built and the cab will be wrapped. 95 3500 with 12 valve and manual trans. I couldn’t pass it up.

Yeah, I don’t blame you. Finding a good 12 valve is getting harder and harder to do. I think I’m going to look for at least an extended cab but preferably crew cab. I just want to make sure that I have at least 10’ of flatbed to work with.
