I stand corrected-- I have 2" clearance. Still makes me warry. I'm thinking I'll use header wrap on the exhaust pipe. Thoughts? I would like to move the filter and lines to the other side of the transmission, but there's just not enough room-- the transfer case occupies any place I could...

thanks MS21043-- that's exactly the sort of answer I was looking for.

title says most of it. in my installation of my filter I have to pass within 1/2" of the hot exhaust pipe. It concerns me that it'll either heat the oil or melt the hose. How would you address this?

als-- to anyone considering this, I suggest keeping an eye on the ID of all fittings. NPT ports in particular can get you in trouble with restrictions in the line if you don't keep an eye out for it. One reason why I upsized my lines from the 5/16" to 3/8" ID. Another was to keep things easy- I...

n00bz, you can get -6 Pushlock hose from www.discounthydraulichose.com for $0.87 a foot. This is a STEAL, and at that cheap a price nothing else is worth considering. Make sure to draw out your filtration system and spend a couple days looking over it before you order, otherwise I can guarantee...

will do. I was originally going to use 1/4NPTF tees at the trans and the FFF to plumb in the BPF, but then noticed that they posed a significant restriction in the lines. I also have a temp sensor I mounted up years ago but never got around to wiring. While I have the trans out I will sneak a...

just ordered 20 feet of -6 hose, 20 pushlocks, a dozen each tube nuts and b nuts, 2 swivel female/male unions, 4 caps, and 2 -4F to -6M adapters. Shipped, came to $75. Would have been easily $300 worth of stuff at the local fitters' shop- they wanted $4.87/FT for the same hose! Instead of...

honestly if I were to pop a hole in the pan for return, I'd just kneed up some JB weld into a snake and put a fillet of it around the outside of the pan, thus bypassing any problems with chrome, etc, entirely.

only problems with that: I'm not going to weld. I'm not going to make any obvious mods to the transmission in event that there's a warranty claim in the next few years. I'm going to run the BPF return into the FFF input by way of a JIC tee. This way if there should happen by some odd chance to...

nevermind, next page had 'em..

also, anyone know a good source of JIC tees?

every manufacturer I've seen in my recent research says they must be cut off. I'm wondering-- are pushlocks suitable for use on hot transmission fluid? I'll be using them on a FFF and BPF combo off of a 700R4 trans, and I really want to make sure that they don't end up spurting my fluid...

was talking with a friend today and he suggested I use one of the pressure test ports on the trans if I absolutely must NOT drill the pan. If this weren't a chrome pan, I'd MIG a bung in in a heartbeat. But this was the best price I could find on a pan, and it's chromed. That complicates all...

(we REALLY need an edit feature, folks!) where would you put a temp sensor, given that I am not going to drill a hole in the pan.

well I converted some measurements and it looks like I'll go with a 1/32" hole. Teeny-- I'll have to rob from my scale modeling stuff... I like the idea of plumbing the output of the BPF into the FFF input. That actually helps, as I am having to order a few Tees and such from Summit. This way...

don't want to parallel the coolers-- too much plumbing. I've been running just the aux cooler (liquid/air) for a long while without problems, I am just plumbing the in-tank one back inseries with it (and upstream) for an experiment. If the temps get out of line, I'll take it back out. But it...

ok-- one last rumination- it occurs to me that the 5/16" line is an OD. So the ID is likely 1/4".. which makes things very easy as I already have all the fittings save for the Tees... unfortunately, truck is 20 miles away at the mo, I am at work. Will have to get the mic out and check....

oh-- and I know most folks would just popp a hole in the tranny pan and use that as return. I'm not going to do that-- for one thing, I just spent $50 on a HD deep trans pan, for another I don't want there to be ANY mods that can't be removed with a wrench and made to dissapear should I have to...

ok-- after much thinkin'.. here we go... I realized that running a 1/4NPT to -4JIC would be restricting the flow through my cooling lines. So I had to rethink a bit, and have improved my setup. Here is what I have come up with thus far. First off, know that it's a 700R4 transmission. Stock...

already plan to give them a barrel, and I am aware of the legalities involved. are you talking about using the entire leg as a filter instead of cutting pieces from the leg as needed??
