Has anyone installed an Oil Filter Relocation Kit on the 4.7L? I put so many miles on that I do a oil change once a month. I don't know about the 4x2 but where the filter is located on the 4x4, it spills oil and makes a hell of a mess when taking it off. Does anyone recommend a brand for a universal or know of a engine specific one for the 4.7L?

I believe Amsoil carries a dual remote kit and a single remote kit, I looked into it before then forgot about it. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure someone here in 3rd gen said they were an Amsoil dealer before, just can't remember who...

Heres how I do it. I loosen it and let the oil drip into the pan I use and then just unscrew it slowly. On my old truck I took a philips head screw driver and sharpened it to a point and used it to puncture a hole in the filter and let the oil run out that way. Sometimes I do make a mess if I'm in a hurry or the filter slips out of my hands but if you let the oil run out into a pan its not as bad.

yes, I am. go to my site and it is on there. www.notnormalmotorsports.com
I personally like relocation kits. makes it nicer to change the filter because you can put it where ever you want.
I havent put one on mine yet but plan to in the future. so far ive had my truck for almost 11 months and have put 21000 miles on it.

I try to let it drain into a pan but like I said, I don't know about the 4x2 but on the 4x4 it runs down the filter, onto a hose (I didn't really trace it but I think its the trans cooler line) and the wire for some sensor and the top of part of the frame that has the steering rack mounted to it. There is not much room to put a pan or anything right under the filter. Most of the time I do it when the oil is still somewhat hot so it ends up splashing all over, not to mention unless you unscrew it most of the way and let it sit for an hour, you alway get that little bit that spills out when you pull it off. That gets really old very quick when you do an oil change once a month... I have had my truck for almost 23 months and I have 65000 miles on it so thats at least 20 oil changes I have done on it so far.
Oh and check out http://qwikvalve.com/index.html . That makes the job a little quicker, easier, and far less messy if you add a hose with the N-Series. There are other sites that sell the same product for a little cheaper but this site gives you the most info about it.

That qwik valve looks handy but I would never put one on my truck, even if it's built like fort knox I would worry about it leaking or opening all the time (I realize there's safetys against that but I'm not very trusting when it comes to something that can easily KO my motor for good). I will say hot oil does suck though, changed the oil on my car once at school when I had that, had to drive it for a ways to get to the student auto club's shop. Didn't think about the fact that the car was warm, unscrewed the plug and next thing I know my arm is covered in hot oil, not a great time lol.
