Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) fs2500 mounting locations

[Parish]

Just got in my fs2500 oil-bypass & was wondering if anyone has any pictures of any optional mounting locations other than what the directions show? Would also like to know if there is a way to run the return to the oil cap?

Amsoil sells the swivel fitting to return the oil to the cap for around $9...

This thread will give you an idea of mounting options... I have my Amsoil filter mounted under the bed on the passenger side, in front of the rear tire...

i took a piece of u channel and drilled it for the bolts to mount on the unit. then i welded it to the frame and bolted it on. since i have air tank fass and drop steps it only left me the passanger rear side frame. the twin turbos used my oil spot on the passanger side so i had to buy longer braided steel lines and run them to the driver side there is 5 ports on the o6 not sure on yours then i taped into the valve cover and it was on. I only have 4000 miles on it but i just changed fluid and it seems to be getting to the point of sootless oil.
but any way hope that helps.

Rather than returning oil back thru the valve cover, I used the passenger side dipstick provision to return oil back to crankcase. Saves drilling out valve cover & helps keep engine compartment clutter to a minimum.
