Remote Mount Oil Filter

[Insanity]

Oh, I agree with that. But part of the cost of the pacbrske kit is the custom mount for the filter which I would either have to modify, or just not use.

Plenty of remote mount oil filter parts available on summit and jegs. They don't look as cool , who cares right?, but will function just the same. The only thing with the pacbrake that I can see from the one I have is the billet components commanding more money. I mean common its a plate of steel bent with holes in it that imo isnt worth much.

I need to instal mine before it gets too cold or wait till it gets warm again.

Also if you are going full custom you would need custom length lines to fit where you decide to locate the filter. At that point you may as well piece it together as the cost of the pacbrake wont make sense if you still need custom lines made. For me and my setup I was looking for a nice turn key solution that was designed for everything to fit and work as a kit. For that need, the pacbrake kit worked out perfect.

It's not hard to make -an lines. I added a oil cooler on my Dakota with oil filter adapter and -an fittings and line. Wasn't that hard.

None at all. Not sure where or how vibration would transmit to the body or frame with this kit since the hoses isolate it completely.

"High quality product and a great solution to an existing maintenance nightmare. The only issue I had after installation is vibration. The hoses vibrate and it’s quite noticeable in the cab. It’s virtually impossible to route them without touching something. What I d however is wrapped additional heater hose around the hoses whoever they touched the frame of truck and it reduced the noise to a bearable level."

There are hydraulic shops all around me that will make the lines while you wait. I have them made frequently for yacht autopilot installs. I agree they are easy to work with and the right way to do custom work by far. The cost of the pacbrake kit (besides the shiny cnc stuff) is you are paying for the engineering to already be done. All the correct fittings, all the hardware, all the mount plates, correct length lines, instructions and warranty. The system has been tested and is known to work correctly for the specific application. Its a box you get that has everything needed to complete the entire job without any custom work using high quality parts. To me thats worth the premium anyday.

@bigdodge
I installed my kit with the hoses routed so they don’t hit the frame or interfere with any other parts. I have no noticeable noise or vibrations after the install.

I looked right at the Moroso site. Just the 2 metal pieces, without brackets or lines, is over $300. The Pacbrake looks pretty nice, and would be way cheaper.

The guy with the vibration put the kit a on a Cummons.

The Earls kit doesn't have an engine adapter, only the filter end. The second one is a complete kit, but doesn't have the proper fittings for a Ram. You would end up having to buy new fittings, then have to fab brackets. You could make it work, but I actually ordered the Pacbrake yesterday. I would rather spend a little more, and get an engineered to fit, and bolt right on, rather than hodge podge something together. But that's just my opinion.

If you read the Earls kit, it has a block off for where the factory filter screwed on, and there are plugs in he block you would remove and screw the hoses in. Eliminating the oil filter pancake adapter. IMO, if that's correct, it would be the preferred way to do a remote mount.

And what do you mean "proper fittings" for the RAM? It's a universal kit with the correct threads on filter adapter to fit Hemi block. The rest is, as it says, universal. Make your own hoses.

Both kits give you flexibility about where you mount the remote filter. And for guys like me, who removed the mounts the pacbrske kit uses, it would be the better option. Saves money since sid have to come up with my own mounting for the pacbrske kit anyways, which would mean the hoses might not work for me, since they are meant specifically for having it mounted to AAD mount

And was just showing here were cheaper options than the Moroso pieces you referenced in the post I quoted. Figured you'd be able to make that connection. It's not like I was saying it was a better alternative for everyone

The Earl's kit is for Gen 3 Hemi's. It's not clear if Gen 5's have the necessary ports drilled and threaded in the block, that would have to be checked out. If true, that might be better than the pancake adapter. However, it does not look like swage sleeves are included with the hose and fittings, so you'd have to source those somewhere or cobble it with worm clamps or something.

It's still a Gen III Hemi used in 5th Gen Rams.

I agree, the Pacbrake isn't for everybody, especially like you, modifying where it isn't bolt in. I didn't see anything saying you removed block plugs to do it, so that changes things. I was saying you would need different fittings, because if they came off straight from the factory location, the would not clear things. Yes there are ways to save money, but I like the lines on the Pacbrake better than build your own. To ME, it's worth it for that piece of mind.

I see you were already corrected about the generation thing, but I don't like those hoses either. You could still use a kit like that, but I would have custom hoses made. Napa makes custom hoses.

Or make your own -an lines. They are easy to assemble and every bit as good as paying someone to make them.

And the Hemi in our trucks is still a Gen III Hemi

 

[31RamIt]

I kind of like the flexibility of the Earls kit. I do see how the convenience of the Pacbrake would be nice though.

I follow you, it's the engine generation vs. the Ram. I think I'd still crawl under and verify that the bosses are drilled and tapped (and not blocked by a motor mount or cross member or ?) before plunking down money for a block-off kit.
