oil filter relocation

[ncollins64]

Does anybody have any evperience with oil filter relocation kits for the 6.4s. I know river city diesel has a kit and elite also has a kit i think. I wanna relocate mine and use a spin on filter, plus it makes for a cleaner engine. Any thoughts?

I have a RCD one. I'll let you know more when the truck runs within a few weeks

Sub'd. Looking for one of these myself.

I just hope nobody is seeing oil leaks or stuff of that nature. I like the look of the river city kit

Looks really good, subscribed for some reviews

The only one i have personal experience with is the elite set up on godzilla, only downfall i saw is its pretty messy to pull the engine because it basically drains the whole time, really not a big issue but thats the only thing i could maybe complain about. As always with external lines you run the risk of rubbing, heating ect where the hose might develop a leak and the bad part is you could pump all the oil out of the pan before you even knew you had an issue...

that being said even Cat uses external soft lines, seams to work just fine even in high abuse areas... only thing i think i would add is an external oil cooler to go with it.

External cooler would be great addition, not sure the lines RCD is using but I have used Earl's prolite before and it works great, should resist abrasion pretty good as well, I know there is sleeves available to help too but no link right now

Edit: something like this to double up protection

Bullet proof diesel has one as well. It's pricy but those guys make good products

Looks like a great kit as well, read through the instructions and seems pretty straight forward, only thing I noticed was they use self-tapping screws into the CAC to mount the cooler, so aftermarket IC guys may need to come up with their own mounts or make sure the screws don't penetrate the core.

I was thinking the same thing for those of us with after market coolers. Was thinking about calling them to see if they have anything in the works for after market CAC,s.

This is great feed back. I need to look at bullet proofs kit and elites kit since ive never seen them in person.

I looked into it a while back using OEM stuff. No experience yet, but I can probably dig up part numbers if you're interested.

E-series vans have a remote mount filter. It looks like the only things you wouldnt be able to reuse would be the hard lines. No biggie though. Im dure some suitable hose could be sourced from summit or jegs pretty easily.

I'm working on these now..... I had the upper housing threaded and the lower one as well ... I'm waiting on the lines to be made now....

Ive been looking at the bullet proof kits alot here lately. I may go that route since it comes with a secondary oil cooler. Seems they have good products. Any thoughts before i pull the trigger?

 

[Hammer Down]

might be a dumb question but have you guys seen any issues with it taking longer to get oil pressure due to the remote mount?

do you still have the parts list for the E-series relocation filter?
