If we wouldn't have had the gasket issue it probably would have taken us 2-3 hours or so. The gasket set us back because when it slipped out we tore it so had to find a new one. It is still leak free and works great!
I cannot figure out how that design was ever approved. Would hate to be a service technician working at a ram dealership and dealing with it all the time!
I installed it on my 22 ram at 1,000 miles on my first oil change took about 5 hours but worth it so easy to change oil now I bought a Hubb oil filter and had a drain plug welded in now I can drain the filter and the oil super easy.
That is awesome. My brother is very happy with this kit! Did you have any issues with the o ring staying in place where the new housing fits the old filter location?
Was the oil temperature the same when you checked pressure before and after installing the kit? Hotter oil=lower pressure. I’m asking because I have had this kit installed for a while and didn’t pay attention to pressure before and after and I’ve seen a couple of comments like yours and I’m wondering if I should remove it. I just want to make sure the pressure drop you saw is accurate
@@mattyruppel1654 thanks a bunch for the reply! I’ve had the kit on for probably 12-15k miles and haven’t had any issues and technically the pressure is “within spec” but I will probably remove it and see about putting my own custom kit together with better flowing fittings and all. Or just deal with the pain in the behind factory location lol
@ i only drove it for 300 miles with the kit on. I did call the company and they told me same thing that it is within specs, however I am a little hesitant to run 75-80 mph in the highway with almost 20 percent drop of the pressure. I guess I have to deal with the messy oil change.
That was a great video, thanks. How is it after 4 months?
He loves it! Oil changes are a breeze now.
@@String-Ridge thanks!
How long did the install take, and is it still leak free?
Great video!

OK, this is by far the best camera work I have seen on th ^&%^%&% oil filter. Seriously somebody needs to be fired for putting it there...WTF.

Can you include the drain plug setup he has?

Did you have oil pressure drop? I installed this kit and noticed that the cruising psi from 48-52 psi, dropped to 41-42 psi in a 1750 RPM.
Oil pressure is normal, did not change on this truck.

yes. I have it both in 218 -220 F and with the kit was 40-42psi and without at same temp 48-52 psi @ about 1800 RPM.
