Look at doing a Bypass on my 6.0, Q's...

What is inside the Amsoil Filter? I've never seen a spin-on bypass cut open.

The EaBP is a pleated (fiber) glass filter...the previous version, the BE-90, was a stacked plate design (stacked discs of a felt-like material)...

The old design kinda reminded me of a stack of ScotchBrite pads cut in circles.

M'kay. Really leaning toward a FS2500, installed with the Amsoil type items. I don't like where they want me to mount it on my truck... way down on the frame rail. Want it in the engine bay, with short(er) SST lines.

I have cut open the old BP filters and the filter material looks like the stuff they make peg board with.

You can put the filter anywhere you run the hoses.

The BE-90 I cut apart (right before they changed to the EaBP series) looked like a stack of discs, each disc being approximately 1/2" thick...but the material looked and felt like compressed felt or wool.

Exactly, lots of guys mount them under hood...on the dodge, it mounts behind the front bumper typically.

There is nothing wrong mounting them on the frame as long as they don't hang down real far. I ran a EaBP-110 from the bed's cross-member for a long time without any problem. My GCF is also attached to the underside of the bed...being they get changed on longer intervals, you only end up under there once in a while.

Yeah I'm gonna try and get an FS-2500 maybe used b/c I want to use my own hoses and such.
