Start by locating your oil pressure switch here. Located next to your oil filter, the one with one wire, not two. Remove it. You can see the hole where the switch was here and the new fitting that will go in.

New fitting, #4 oring to 1/8 pipe, then you will also need an 1/8 pipe to #4 oring to relocate the switch later. Gates G60275-0402, and G60291-0402 are the two fittings you need.

I assembled as much as I could of the fitting off the truck. You can see it below. #4 oring to 1/8pipe, 2" straight to 1/8" tee and then a nipple on top for hose. I later replace the top nipple with a #4an fitting and stainless line for looks.

On the Tee part you'll want to use the 1/8pipe to #4 oring fitting to relolcate you oil switch. The wires are tight and probably could splice them and make them longer if needed.

I bought pieces from amsoil for the base of the filter and the swivel for the return in the oil cap. I bought a solid after cap to drill for the swivel return. Works well. Pretty much just connect the hose in the right spot on you're done. I've got less than $150 in this including filters and everything. I eventually spent extra money on stainless lines that cost around $75

Oil bypass return

I found it easier to just tap the oil fill tube with a 1/8" NPT and have the retrun from the filter flow directly into the side, cheaper and easy to fill with oil.
