by pass filter advice
Hay all here in ford land.

is it true I can use the spare hole on the oil cooler for the out flow? where did you all rought your return?? thank J you all are the best

ive got the amsoil twin filter setup on both trucks, ive got them mounted on the passanger side frame rail i made a piece to stand it off the inside rail i did need to get a pillow block to mount the two hoses to the crossmember right infront of the oil pan. i did have to weld that on. the pillow block you can pickup anywhere you can get hydraulic parts one for -8 hose fits. i run the largest of the bypass filter which is the eabp110 and i think the full flow is eao26 i'll see if i can get some pics

thanks jake. so the model you have replaces the existing full flow filter? do you think that is better? or should I look at just adding a by pass filter. I would love to see some pics if you get around to it.
I dont have a system yet I' m still trying to figuer out which one makes sence for me. thanks J

great pics! I think that is how I want to run my lines.. did your kit come with the right sized fittings? or did you have to pick them up seperate? do you remember the sizes?
How did it work mounting the filter behind the transfer case? it seems like there is a lot of room back there but it is a long run with the hoses. is there such a thing as too far to run the hoses?/ thanks for all the great info J

All the supplies I had in the shop. I used 1/4 hydraulic hose. on my CC about 4 foot each way. I used JIC fittings front and back with JIC to pipe thread to fit it all. The pressure port is 1/8 pipe and the return I can't remember. I went thru this in another thread but for the life of me I can't remember what size the return is. its either 1/4 or 3/8ths. The filter came with the bracket to mount it and I just used 4 self drilling/self tapping screws to go up thru a sheet metal support under the cab, not the cab floor itself.

yeah mine replaces the full flow too, i just liked the way the full replacement was setup seemed to be a cleaner install than the other way. i would run the oilgaurd if i didnt run what i got.

Well now all I have to do is make a dissision on which unit to buy. thanks for all the good info. Jake Ive been a bit worried about the seals on the fitting that screws on to the stock full flow filter mount? it looks alittle susspect to me...
I'm also not sure what you meant by a pillow block? is it to keep the hoses from rubbing? thanks . hope all you and your 4 footed friend are well in tx
