Message:
I'm interested in setting up a bypass filter on my 2001 4.7 Dak. However the location on the block where you get the oil psi from is not like others and is funky. I don't see any way to get psi off the engine. Is there a spacer block that could go behind the oil filter? or a remote system that I could use? Help is welcomed.

Kevin, I've not done it but I know that Amsoil sells a bypass filter and the plumbing therefore.
Go to their site and look at their pics. E-mail 'em to see if it'll fit your engine. I'll bet they'll help. Keep us posted.

I have only seen the remote bypass system that uses an adapter that spin on in place of the regular oil filter. The system should come with direction though. You might want to contact the supplier.

I installed the amsoil bypass filter on my 5.2. The kit that I got taps into the oil pressure sending unit and has various adapters for different sized sending units. So maybe one will fit your 4.7. Also, amsoil sells a fitting that lets you route the return line through the oil filler cap.

AMSOIL makes a complete bypass system that does not require any modifications to your engine. it also relocates the OEM filter and the by-pass filter to the same location. If you are interested in one of these I am an AMSOIL Dealer and can assist you in getting one.

By-Pass
Oil Filters
Engine wear is caused by dirt particles larger than 5 microns. The AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter removes particles as small as 1/10 of a micron, virtually eliminating engine wear.
AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filters filter all the oil in a six-quart system in about five minutes at an average engine speed equivalent to 45 mph.
Call 1-800-956-5695 and order a free G-254A to find out how a TRIGARD Oil Analysis Plan can greatly extend your oil drain intervals.
"When we took this Chevrolet 396 engine apart (using AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40, Reusable Air Filter and By-Pass Oil Filter), it was in the best condition of any engine I have ever seen. It looked like it had about 80,000 miles on it instead of over 535,000. The bearings were not even worn to the brass and the rings were not worn out. It was clean inside, no sludge or carbon at all."
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter provides the best possible filtration protection against wear, oil degradation, rust and corrosion. Working in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow oil filter, the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter operates by filtering oil on a "partial-flow" basis. It draws approximately ten percent of the oil at any one time and traps the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants and water that full-flow filters can’t remove. The AMSOIL By-Pass Filter typically filters all the oil in the system several times an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically clean oil.
Reduces Wear
Approximately 60 percent of all engine wear is caused by dirt particles in the 5 to 20 micron range. These particles can get inside the precision clearances between engine components and cause severe damage. While full-flow oil filters generally stop contaminants no smaller than 25 to 40 microns, the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter effectively stops particles smaller than one micron in size, substantially reducing engine wear.
Prevents Oil Degradation, Rust and Corrosion
Water enters motor oil as a combustion by-product or as a condensate. Water contamination of the motor oil can cause extreme engine damage. Water causes metal surface rust and corrosion, which increases friction and wear and deteriorates the close-fitting tolerances between engine components. In addition, water reacts with other oil contaminants to form corrosive acids, which also damage metal components. The AMSOIL By-Pass Filter removes water, reducing the risk of oil degradation, engine rust and corrosion.
Extends Oil Drain Intervals
Because the AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter removes water and particles smaller than one micron, it significantly increases the time oil can safely be left in the engine. In fact , engines using AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and an AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter routinely show much lower rates of engine wear - even when the oil is used for significantly longer drain intervals - than engines using conventional products and conventional oil drain intervals. That saves motorists time and money and helps protect the environment by creating substantially less used oil.
Dual Remote Filter System
The AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil Filtration System converts an engine’s full-flow oil filter system into a full-flow/by-pass oil filtration system by attaching an AMSOIl Full-Flow Oil Filter and AMSOIL Spin-On By-Pass Oil Filter onto a remote mount. The Dual Remote System provides superior filtration efficiency, increased oil capacity and improved oil filtration accessibility.

JJ, thanks for the Amsoil sales pitch. I'm only interested in a way to get the psi from the engine to the bypass filter, and on the 4.7 it seems as if the only way is to take it from where the stock filter is mounted. There is not very much room for a double filter system. I can only fit a single bypass filter in the engine compartment. Is there anyone that knows of a spacer that might go between the block and the stock filter??? So that I can get the psi that I need.

Does the permacool install between the stock filter and the block? Do they have a web site? Since I only have room for one extra filter I must use the stock filter in the stock location. This leaves room for the bypass filter. This is why I's so interested in an adaptor that goes between the stock filter and block.
