They rub a little in front turning hard... Kinda annoying.
What does the bypass look like? I did notice a metal cylinder thing with a spring inside and another metal cylinder thing that had fallen out. I just put it back in where the hole was... can you even get to it without pulling the cooler again?
I'm still gonna try that when it stops raining.

Brownie, pull the oil filter back off and check the filter bypass there. on your truck it was staked in instead of being c clipped like the later trucks where and when you were messing with the cooler it could have come out. mine came out when i was pulling mine out, but i was putting in an SD end cap with the c clipped bypass anyways so i didn't care.

OK, I'll bite. How do you re-stake in in there? Is it a press fit?
Also what is the "theory of operation" on what it does and how it works?
I thought is was to ensure low oil pressure was flowing to HPOP reservoir on cold starts, but it seems to be a bypass valve to the c-case?
Brownie, I feel you pain. Fixing one problem just to get this other.

If the filter becomes clogged/plugged the oil reroutes from the filter thru the bypass back to the cc. Your gonna need a small chissel or garbage screw driver to make a notch with a hammer in 3 spots to hold in the disc and spring, should be able to see where they already are and just redo them..

Now the question is .. what the heck is a garbage screw driver?

Thanks for the picture, Rick. I know what a sending unit typically looks like and can see it clearly in the picture. What general area of the engine am I going to be looking at? I see what looks to be some coolant hoses there. I read somewhere that the thing is at the top rear of the engine near the firewall. Correct?
I am tied up with work most of the day Saturday and I am hoping to be home in time to have enough daylight to pop a new one in (and solidify the connection) on Saturday afternoon.
It doesn't help that everything is so clean and shiny in your photo either! Kinda like reverse camouflage trying to find the same stuff on a dirty engine!

definitely not on the rear of the engine.. front of engine on top of the HPOP reservoir on the left side if your standing in front of your truck....
