here ya go Matt, Made the end out of a sterling 10.5 and use the parking brake to keep it from moving when I dont want it to. Works great. Im planning on making another one with the other end of the axle at some point.

me and Doug have been going back and forth. There is something wrong somewhere, just taking 100s of measurements trying to find it LOL

Hope it all works out for you. I've always liked this little truck and hope to see it succeed as a 6.0.

Oh crap! Well he'll definitely help you find out what it is along with a bunch of stuff you didn't want to find out about. LOL

Sounds like you're talking to the right guy. I always chuckle when people talk chit about him, but invariably the folks who need the right answers are smart enough to call him and ask what he thinks.

Don't do that... I ignored some stuff he said that I didn't wanna hear on the recommendation of a few others and ended up loosing a 7.3...

Whaaaaaaaat?

I thought they rectified the oil filter problem after the first engine failure?

Interesting bearing wear.

I thought so too, but that is what the part numbers came back as.

I will say that I dont think the oil filter caused this failure.

Did the oil filter that was on it have the paper element or was a steel screen type filter? I've heard a lot of good about the steel screen filters in applications that require high flow.

dont know, dont really care. The next filter that goes on it will flow 30+ gal/min thats for sure.

The picture of the main bearing almost looks like a side load issue. (bent)

What do the stock oil filters flow?
Is there anything else that will work on that remote oil filter set-up?

Dalpilot · Nov 26, 2011

Matt the oil filter system to put on it is the one from the econoline van. Had I done that before I believe a lot of problems would have been avoided. The filter that was on it was a 22 micron filter. Minimum Ford recomends is a 20. Before you guys start throwing darts find a remote oil system that flows what is needed for that engine with the proper microns etc..... If it had starved oil from the filter it would have spun the 8 and 7 bearings. Why number 4 is a mystery.

The guy that built it built motors for john force, Cruz Pedregon, Jim Head, and several other teams. He knows his stuff. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you work at that level I would say your talent is beyond thaose mistakes. Also that motor had 2 years on it before the bearing failure and the bearing failed after taking it off a trailer from driving it on the street under 2500 rpms for about 30 minutes and making a trip from Austin to slidell LA.

Yeah, thats what I meant about the steel screen type filters. A couple guys I know who run these on high hp gas engines (1000+) and I've used them on my fourwheelers.

Here's a link to one for the 6.0l, although I'm sure your filter isn't in the stock location.LOL

Stock is no longer in Matts vocabulary.

I figured as much. If he were to go with the E-series remote oil filter setup, he could get one for that application. I was just kinda thinking out loud there. I have no doubt you guys know what will work best.

These filters flow better than just about anything else out there while retaining good filtering capabilities.
