Diesel motor oil will start turn black in the first 5 minutes of running the motor after an oil change. If your oil still looks clean a few hundred miles after an oil change that means the oil doesn't have a very good detergent additive pack and it isn't picking up the soot like it should.

PS I'm learning about these diesel trucks every day and this site is awesome. I've only had big rigs with Cummins in them.

I believe Amsoil has one on their site but they are not exclusive. There are a few systems out there some look like a 3 year old slapped some stuff together others look well though out. Just search oil bypass filter (insert your truck here) and you will get a hand full of results.
Edit.....
It will not make your oil last longer... Just looks cleaner.
