Yes I mean the oil return for the turbo. I assumed it was not pressurized, that the used oil from the turbo just drips/falls into that return and runs down to the block. (which still makes sense to me)... The reason i ask is, the way the DPS systems are set up, they have the y pipe that connects the 2 drains together. It's almost impossible to make the system work without the drain running at least horizontal at some point. My drain line comes in from the passenger side going at a 90 degree angle toward the block. This leaves me having to put a 90 degree (actually looks like a ? In shape) molded rubber hose fitting to attach the drain to the block connection. I'll post a pic

Oil filter relocation
That is definitely something to think about. If I can't get it to go together cleanly with a rubber hose and the relocation kit, I may just do that

the only thing you wanna think about with that is changing the filter. if its still in the engine bay on that side when you change the filter your gonna make a mess, oils gonna get everywhere.

Fully aware of situations like that. Been pulling wrenches for 12 years now, and have seen many different machines with different filter locations. One new feature on Deere Skid Steers is a tray to catch the oil loss from a filter, and funnel it down to a place where a bucket can be placed. I may do something similar.

With the Amsoil unit you don't have to mount it by the battery. Check it out. If you have any questions ask, I'm a dealer.

pac brake makes a relocation kit for these trucks. i have one on mine and it is the single greatest thig ive bought for it. my twins are huge so that was a have too to even get a filter on it. it relocates it to under the passenger fender and is the cleanest relocation kit ive ever seen. i sell them and i think they are around the 250 mark. and they come with everything you need to install. they make life so much easier and keeps you from having to half way disassemble your twin kit to get the filter out.
Thanks :rocking: |
