Oilguard location
I Just got my oilguard by pass. Where should i put the bracket pfor this thing. Any recommendations would be most helpful. I was thinking of up by the full flow, but the dive shaft for the four wheel wheel drive might get in the way. Please help me.

I dont know about the oil guard system, but I have my fs2500 on the outside of the frame under the driver door, connected by high pressure lines to the filter area. I would also imagine there would be instructions included with the filter assembly for the oil guard. There is my nickle . Good luck.

I'm going to install mine where the photos show on their website when it gets here (shipped today). A friend of mine installed his in the left wheel well. I'm not sure if that was a good spot though.

I installed mine horizontally on the inside of the frame rail on the drivers side. Mine is a 4 x 2 but you should have the same holes in the frame. Within 18-24" of the high pressure outlets.
I fabricated an "L" type bracket to mount the Oil Guard bracket too.

No, the mount that I fabricated moves the filter 2 inches away from the frame rail, so it wont leak onto that.
Sure, you'll have to break it open and thread the cover a bit and let the oil it run out a bit before totally removingjust like your normal filter.
I just couldn't find a place to mount the Oil Guard vertically and have room for the hoses and not pose a potential ground clearance problem.
