    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Was thinking about going with this engine adaptor and the pac brake filter adaptor and have new lines made up to mate the two. I like this design a little better from looking at it. Moroso 23686 Moroso Remote Filter Adapters | Summit Racing

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    When the pac kit is installed it makes oil changes much less messy. I was an early adopter and got a gen 1 kit with the black O rings. My understanding is the newer kits use different O rings that are blue I believe and a better material. For now I'm back to the small OEM filter in the OEM spot...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Definitely two of the main adaptor block gaskets. It appears they shrunk a bit and started letting some oil blow by the gaskets. In pacs defense i just ripped this engine hard on a 500 mile trip including offroading and it never lost oil pressure, just dripped oil a bit. Michigan is very hard on...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Checking back in at 20k miles after 4th oil change and my system has developed a leak in between the engine block and the manifold adaptor plate. All fittings are still good but the big main gasket seems like it has failed. Been leaking for a couple weeks, just a drip but its getting worse and I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    My westin pro mod front end has taken a beating over the last 4 years and some rust starting to show up so I wire wheeled and sanded it down a bit and gave it a fresh coat of rustoleum satin black. I wanyed to blackout the screws and fog logos too so i taped it all off and went at it. Eventually...

    Manufactured scheduled maintenance intervals vs. your personal opinion

    Mileage is only half the equation, if your vehicle idles a lot, remote starts, heavy towing, etc. the milage doesnt tell the true story of how much wear is on the plugs. A better indicator is the hour meter on the engine.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Checking in here 15 months, 15k miles, and 3 oil changes later after my initial install and everything is still solid, no leaks..*knocks on wood!!* Going down to below zero temps this week so figured fresh oil and an inspection was due. Im pretty sure I'm running the v1 kit, with the black O rings.

    4 Wheel Drive Overheating Reduced Performance 2019 Ram 1500 5.7L

    What T case are you running? The real one or the “auto” version? What oil in the T case? Possible that maybe you broke the front diff?

    how often is everyone changing oil

    Engines are expensive, oil is not. Ive never done mine under 50% life on the meter. Usually 4-5k miles. Thats a lot of starts and road time if you really think about it. The car ECU doesn't know what type of oil you are using and will give the same results for dino/semi/fullsyn. Hell you could...

    5.7 hemi got loud all of a sudden.. fixed.

    When I did it I hammered off the broken head, then put the bit thru the flange to act as a guide and drilled away. It wasn't easy i used 2x 3/8” carbide bit because I broke the first one halfway thru. Slow speed and cutting oil are your friend here.

    Display Theme Resetting

    When you change the theme in settings, to say the blue theme, (which i believe is Laramie) are you also using jscan to change it in the cluster to match? I think the cluster theme (using jscan) must match what you pick in the theme settings (on the 8.4” screen) for it to stick. Ive still been...

    Display Theme Resetting

    When you change the dash theme, are you also changing the theme in the center screen to match it? I think this needs to be done for them to stick.
