Don’t forget your idle is bumped up too.

My idle was bumped up with both set-ups,lol.Other then a few niknaks here and there my truck hasn't really changed much in the last 5 years,it's running the same basic tune as it was 5 years ago a few tweaks here and there,but the idle hasn't changed since i put the basic combo together close to a 1/2 dozen years ago,lol. I actually gained about 2 psi at anything above 1500 rpm when hot with the dual filters Khris.

Ok ...so our trucks engine thread is 22x1.5 .... some of these kits have 22x1.5 engine thread and then the 3/4-16 in. for the remote filter ... so I think their descriptions are just wacked out lol ...

It appears permacool does not offer the 70988 kit anymore but this is the deluxe kit for dual filters. Right from their website. And yes that’s weird. Never noticed that before. However the 70988 is the 22x1.5?filter thread. It would just require a nipple swap. I could do that with mine too if I so felt like it.

So this one would be good right .... would this one need the upgraded fittings and hose?

1/2” npt threaded fittings to -10 AN hose and you should use thread seal as well or even rtv gasket on the threads

I just finished my installation of an Improved Racing oil filter relocation and oil cooler. I went with Improved Racing because I liked the quality look of their components, anodized billet aluminum. These are the items I installed:

- Remote Oil Filter Adapter, ENV-163 with M22X1.5 filter thread
- Remote Oil Filter Head with Thermostat (165°F), ENV-170-T2-F4 with M22X1.5 filter thread
- Dual Pass Oil Cooler, MHX-214-10AN
- Fittings -10AN, 4 straight and 4 90°
- Racing Hose -10AN, Viton inner bore

The reason I wanted an oil cooler is because I tow a 9,000 pound travel trailer and the engine oil gets in the 240° or more range, hopefully this will help keep it a bit cooler. I know that is not too high for synthetic oil, but I just want it a bit cooler. The remote head has a thermostat that limits oil passage through the cooler until the oil temperature is above 165°F

I took it for a short 12 mile test drive and it all worked fine, without any leaks. The temperatures and pressures are as follows, non-towing at idle:

Before install: Water 203°F, Transmission 174°F, Oil 212°F, Oil Pressure 47 PSI
After install on startup: Water 57°F, Transmission 57°F, Oil 57°F, Oil Pressure 57 PSI
After install after drive: Water 203°F, Transmission 170°F, Oil 199°F, Oil Pressure 46 PSI

So two of each ?
Depends on how you plan on mounting your filter mount but definitely want 90s on the filter relocation plate.
Edit: looked at your list and since you are doing the dual filters I would say yes you want straights on the filter mounts

Well the dual remote mount has the inlets on the side so I wouldn't need them there ... and I can have them come straight down from the engine mount ..... So really I wouldn't need the 90s at all right ?
