I'm considering adding a bypass to my 2006 Duramax.
It looks as though there is a port on the side of the full flow main filer mount that has a screw in plug. It seems to be on the supply side of the filter base. Any experience with this?
My thought was rather than have to use a filter adaptor base, I could just unplug the existing port and put a threaded barb in there, plumb to a bypass filter base (such as Napa/Wix) and return the oil, most likely to the filler neck or cap. If the bypass base does not have a restritor, I'll just add one. I like simple connections, and if this port on the main filter mount is already there, why not use it?
