Re: Eliminating Remote Oil Filter
Well since i sent bearing shavings all through my oil system I am looking at my options of avoiding reusing my oil cooler since it will be next to impossible to completly flush out. My options would be.
1) Plug stock oil cooler use external cooler where the power steering cooler is currently ( i like this idea)
2) Relocate Oil Adaptor to drivers side frame and use external cooler somewhere (any ideas and i also like this idea)
3) Get a new or different radiator (lots of options there, but can get pricey)
4) **** the oil cooler just run the filter on the bottom of the block
5) Get a different oil adaptor that does not have the oil coolant in and outlets
6) Flush current cooler the best that i can and cross fingers
7) Any other suggestions

Re: Eliminating Remote Oil Filter
I'd get a new radiator, then take the whole system off the truck and flush it out well. the lines and block adapter will clean up very easily; the filter housing is a little trickier. I had shards of aluminum all through mine from drilling and tapping them for 3/8" NPT fittings to use braided, and it all cleaned up nicely. Just get a new radiator and flush.

Re: Eliminating Remote Oil Filter
I would disagree just a little. To begin with oil coolers may actually help the oil warm up by exposing it to the coolant which warms up much quicker than the oil. On the flip side, under high load (ie turbo'd), a lot more engine heat is absorbed by the oil and needs to be dissipated. Who was it that did oil cooled pistons? That heat needs to go somewhere.
Funny in a way. We need hot oil for low friction loss and cool coolant for higher volumetric efficiency.
Having said all that, in the end it may not make any difference because our engines are small (fast warm-up) and are not exposed to full throttle for very long periods.
