Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Frantz Oil Cleaner/Filter System

[aviatorman]

Anybody install one of these filter units on their truck? The filtration power of these is 1/10th of one micron and the price is reasonable ($165. 00). My question to anyone who's installed one on the cummins is - - where do you drill and mount the oil return nipple/hose? If anyone has a comment on their satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the product I'd appreciate it.

The search engine is a powerful tool, here is more reading on it than you could possible endure... but very good info

I've got the OilGuard system on my truck(check out my pics). i did have the frantz system on my wife's Yukon until we traded it in. I knew the engine was starting to get a little gunked up before i put it on and when i changed the first element, wow, i could just see the junk that filter was catching. The only thing i didn't care about is that if you are not careful, the seal could leak. Other than that, i love it.

I took the turbo drain line off and brazed a fitting into the center area of it. The filter is mounted on the inner finder just under the passenger side battery. I tried to attach a picture but the file was too big.
