Oil cooling

[satcom40]

I was think about an external oil cooler. what is the beat way to do it.
I using the top of my oil cap for by-pass and soon oil pressure gauge.
any ideas where to tap it from. or is the oil cap the best spot for it.
Thanks John

Never mind. I look at the Bible and the cap is the only place. oh well.

The only other place is behind the filter housing, down low. One of the sensors is oil temp, one is oil pressure. The cap is much easier tho.

For oil pressure, I put a T-fitting on my bypass filter out port and used it for pressure. That way I know I have pressure and I know if I have a problem with my bypass filter too.

the factory oil cooler is the best for your truck. it has the best flow of oil and the coolest coolant possible. both ports are like 5/8 in opening. i believe you would be wasting your money

Hey Todd, whose bypass oil filter are you running?

Gald I was only thinking about it. I want this to be the last New truck I buy.
Now I'll think about some other way to help it last a long time.

well if you want it to last, just keep it serviced like it supposed to be.

DOH!! My bad, I meant that the oil pressure sensor is T'd into the IN port of the filter housing. DUH!! There ain't no pressure on the out side!!
