2WD C6 Pan/Filter vs 4WD C6 Pan/Filter?
I have a 2 Wheel Drive version C6 in my truck. I recently purchased a new deep oil pan. It's about 1 inch deeper than the original. I believe that it's for a 4 Wheel Drive.
I also purchased a new filter, for a 4 Wheel Drive C6.
Do I need anything else?
Is this combination OK?

Mark,
No, I don't have that tube and filter.
When I looked at my 4wd replacement filter, I suspected that something was missing. That's why I posted the question.
Thanks to you, I can avoid that mistake.
The next question is: Can I get one at a local auto store?

I don't know, but if you need that one let me know.

I see a couple of tabs on the slosh tube. Does a filter attach there?

No, the tube goes in the grommet, just as in the picture. The car filter doesn't have a round hole with a grommet. The tabs but up against the bottom of the pan.

I checked my local Ford Dealer, and he gave me the Willey Inc number. I'll call and see if he will mail it.

Scratch off the slosh tube at Willey Ford in Iowa. I just ordered it.
Thanks to all for your help, and for the offer. I ordered the tube before I got your offer.

I removed the old filter, and the 11 bolts that attach it. Two bolts are 1/4-28(?) x 1.5'. One bolt is 12-28(?) x 1.5", and 8 bolts are 12-28(?) x 1.25".
The 1/4" bolts go into the two large holes at one end of the filter. Where does the 12-28 x 1.5" bolt go?

If your are looking straight up at the valve body and the two big bolts are at the top the longer filter bolt goes at the lower left.
