What do you think the filter does to cause transmission to give out? I'll try and give updates every so often. If I still own the truck when transmission gives out, I'll post it here.

Try it now, not sure why its made so complicated

I did, here is a link to post I made on another forum (hopefully its allowed). I changed it in 2019 and in 2023. link

Been off this forum for a while. Truck has 75,000 miles on it and I haven't had any problems so far. How did you install go?

Doesn’t sound like it should be used in this case.

I think that Frantz is meant to be used as a bypass set up where is this one is a full flow, inline filter. Thanks for the heads up though.

I used a ratchet strap and a jack to pull against a cross member.

I updated first post. Edit: Cant change original post. Update. Changed ATF, filter and dropped the pan Last Sunday (7-28-19) with 50,548 miles on the truck. Oil filter looked very similar to the one in original post. Pan looked great! Only shmoo was on the magnet and no build up of any kind anywhere else. Grey stain is left over from water when I tested my new weld in drain plug. I left water in the pan for few days to make sure it wasnt leaking. Magnet shmoo After wiping off the oil.

I have no way of knowing what the total restriction this set up adds. Also not sure what the exact pressure is in this circuit. One thing is most oil filters are rated to about 300 psi. It would be safe to say that its probably below 300. I know my answer is not very helpful. Do let us know what you end up doing!

Sounds great man, post picture inside of the pan please. Also maybe cut that filter open see if it looks like mine maybe/

Install looks great, how many miles you got on it now?

Thank you! You can definitely use rubber trans hoses. I think those radiators have 3/8 NPT threads. Just make sure clean out old sealant and use good quality thread sealer, I would recommend against the tape kind and go with the liquid type. The extra plumbing and the filter itself probably add a few PSI resistance, but I doubt its anything significant. The pump is a positive displacement type and flows same amount of oil no matter the PSI. Either way I don't have a good solid answer for you man. I would have to measure pressure difference between Point #2 (filter out) and point #13 (filter in) on parts diagram. Also would need to know the pressure relief setting on the pump before I could answer your question with 100% accuracy. But again I doubt that this setup changed the amount of oil that flows through the coolers. Hope my nonaswer helps you make a decision. and bump for the updated first post. Got pictures of the filter put up.

You got it. But it will probably be closer to summer time when I change it out for the simple fact of very few miles on it. Also might do a pan drop to see how it looks on the inside, if there are any shavings. Stay tuned.

I went ahead and did an oil change on the truck but decided to leave transmission filter in till the next time. It hardly had any miles on it sense the install, figured it would be pointless to change out. I'll try and update this thread once I have filter changed out.

You are correct it does open during winter month too, it just takes substantially longer then during summer. At least it does in my truck. How ever during summer time transmission reaches operating temperature quickly.
