oil filter relocation: pictures...

Why not just cut the filter head off of a stocker, weld in a block off plate and tap it for whatever size oil line you want....

Don't have TIG capabilities. There was a thread where someone did that. besides, like Highfinance alluded, the factor piece is a lot cleaner install.

I prefer to use "cleaner" rather than "bling" cause it makes me sound less like a self absorbed jackass...

Besides, I like my engine compartment to look nice, its easier to track down problems and leaks that way.
 
I'm just offering a solution to a $400 hunk of metal. Never said it was pretty. LOL

I think I remember it being 12mm, just find it odd that the oil fittings to the filter are sae. Fittings while the turbo feed is metric.

Yeah I forgot the base is 1/8". When I installed my bypass, I looked all over for a 12mm tee. Thinking that's what I needed.

according to his diagrams, it has a 7/8x14 and a 1 1/16x12 holes. I asked over the phone, and Jeff said he'd try and figure out for me, but I'd like to get the fittings and hoses ordered ASAP. Can anyone confirm if these are o-ring ports (straight cut SAE), or some other port? I've never seen a 7/8x14 NPT, but few things surprise me on this truck anymore...

Also, anyone know what the turbo feed port size is?

Got one in my hands today.

Filter ports are 7/8-14 O-ring
Turbo feed port is M12x1.5 O-ring

In my opinion the filter port area could benifit from a few minutes with a die grinder, lots of stupid sharp casting spots that should be dressed up.

Great information. I'll get my parts ordered tonight. Pictures would be great. I'll look over my casting when I finally get mine and deburr as necessary.
 
Hey guys. In looking into this I've found a couple part #'s listed
3284170 and 3979393

The 3979393 is listed much cheaper price wise, but I'm not sure of the differences. I see that the 3979393 requires an odd mounting gasket.
 
Something about that looks different than what I took off.

So, I took a picture of mine:

Looks almost like they'd need different oil coolers.

I'd have to agree that is a pretty rough casting. mine has the part number cast right into it, but I can't see one on that casting.

Snedge, been meaning to call your shop, any luck tracking one of these down?
 
They take a normal 12V cooler, the 2 long skinny passages are what takes the oil to and from the cooler.
