Which Bypass Filter

[OLEJOE]

I'm thinking about putting a bypass filter system on my new Ram 2500 CTD. What thread size for the filter would be the best and easiest to find filters for. I know Amsoil uses 1-16 for their filters but I'm not sure if something else might be easier to get. I know about the restricter also. The system currently holds 12 quarts. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I bought a kit from a guy that sells the kits on EBAY. He has a few parts made and combines with off the shelf parts. Amsoil filter. Very nice, no drilling.

This is the seller, although not the exact kit I bought. Everything high quality,

I'll certainly check it out. Thanks

It never ceases to amaze me that people are willing to tinker with and bolt on unnecessary trinkets to a $50k+ vehicle.

I hope you really enjoy adding this but please be aware that it is completely unnecessary for the proper functionality and/or longevity of your vehicle.

Cheers!!!

Frantz has complete setups, and offer synthetic or traditional elements. $350 for yours plus fees. They did testing, looks good.

I checked out the Franz but I would like to kinda stay with a spin on filter. I got out there and looked for a place to mount one and it is crowded under the hood. Oh. And that is what I do. Tinker. Because that's what I like to do.

I sent you a post-initial recommendation would be fs2500 bypass filter system. This is website

The FS system sounds good. Do you happen to know what the thread size is for the spin-on filter? I haven't gotten a filter base yet and I'm wanting to see what the best filter is I can get for replacements before I order 1. Thanks for the info.

I remembered this ntz filter-think was originally a Dutch company and housings may be smaller.
