Please keep us posted, and pictures if possible. The Pacbrake oil filter relocation kit has been on my list of "wants", and to do, but I just keep putting it off. From everything I have read and viewed, it looks pretty straight forward to install.

You got a link. I’m sick of changing the oil in my ram already and I’ve only done it once

Again, links are included in those other threads but here I did the work for you.
2 different kits available for 2019+ based on your truck, 1500 or 2500/3500.



This link below is the webpage for all the Ram Truck kits.

I have the PacBrake kit (HP10362) I am installing next week. One thing I am noticing is the mounting location is fully boxed. There is no way to get the nuts in there. The metal is just over 1/8" so not enough for tapping. I'm thinking of using nutserts to mount it. Curious for others feedback on how they were able to mount the bracket.

I have it installed, pretty happy with it. It appears to be quite high quality but I haven't had it installed that long. Looking forward to my first oil change with it!

I had zero issues getting the relocation bracket installed, that was literally the easiest part (maybe the 5th gens is different?). I had a hard time getting the hoses mounted to the original filter bits though, not a whole lot of room to work in that area and the wrench was too long etc etc. But I'm not much of a mechanic either.
