Still got oil cooler line problems

[corelokt]

Been trying ti figure this out. My oil filter faces toward the front of the bumper. Mu oil cooler line ports face toward the drivers side. They come out facing into the exhaust on the 6.5turbo cross-over pipe. Anyone know of a way to mod the oil filter / cooler line ports to face differently to make more room for the lines to connect? Is there a remote filter adapter I can use?

The filter 90° elbow you have now will rotate, but unless you remove it entirely and just go with a verticle filter. It really won't fit any other place than where it is.

Did you buy the Dorman Oil cooler lines? They don't fit properly. (wrong angles) You can get the AC Delco ones on AMAZON.com at a great price. They fit perfect like the FACTORY ones did.

Make you own lines. I just cut and flared the factory tubes that go into the engine and the ones that go to the radiator. I just used 1/2 oil cooler hose from auto parts store, this way you can route them any way you want.

Or get some NPT to AN adapters that thread into block and use AN fittings and braided flex lines.
