Yup. Piece of cake honestly.Nicely done. What did you do with the coolant hoses? Just connect them together?

Wow glad I saw this, I was thinking of putting this on my truck to lower oil temps while towing. Guess I won't do that now....It’s to heat the oil faster and cool it as well if you are towing or anything but it’s useless for cooling as it’s very small. . I just removed mine from my 2017 and oil pressure went up by 2psi. Oil temp warm is down by 10°f as well.
I installed a kit originally from transdapt and switched over to the improved racing kit when I removed the heater assembly.
Best bet is just installing a remote filter mountWow glad I saw this, I was thinking of putting this on my truck to lower oil temps while towing. Guess I won't do that now....
Yeah thats the route I'm gonna go, seriously looking at this kitBest bet is just installing a remote filter mount
That's a good kit, hard to add a front mount cooler to it though if you wanted to do that.Yeah thats the route I'm gonna go, seriously looking at this kit

Thanks I’ll give that a shot.I use a washer bottle cut as shown in this thread. 0 mess taking the filter off now. I've tried the plastic bag and ended up making more of a mess than without it.
Mess...no more
Since they decided to put the oil filter in a horrible place and it makes a mess every time I took it off, I decided to do something about it. Took a windshield washer fluid jug and cut to contour the filter/space the filter occupies. Fits perfectly and still leaves room to spin the filter off...www.ramforum.com
I use a piece of a gutter trimmed down so it only had a 3/4" lip and it was 3' longRam couldn't of put the oil filter in a worse position than they did really. It's like they wanted to see how dirty one could get just trying to remove that oil filter. I bet many of them laugh at the complaints they have gotten throughout the years having the worse placement probably ever.
With that said having a oil change come up I wanted to see your recommended method of not spilling a single drop. I did get the Fumoto drain valve and am looking forward to that. From what I have seen there is a couple methods as far as removing that dreaded filter goes.
1. A couple quart ziplock baggies. Simply first loosen filter then put baggie around and loosen more so oil starts draining in baggie. Seems this is still kind of a PITA because hard to angle that filter at all and still seems to spill a little oil?
2. From what I can see best method is that XL Oil Udder. Have any of you used that for our particular 4th gen RAM's and does that truly do the trick?
^^^ YUPPERS !!! ^^^Never get a drop of oil, anywhere, Ever.
Secrect is take it to teh Dealership and hae them do it.
They even wash it for me.
I've bought the XL Oil Udder and was planning on using it last oil change but I need to get a hose to attach to it. Seems like it'll work well, along with the tried and true zip lock bag to actually get the filter the rest of the way out once it's drained.Ram couldn't of put the oil filter in a worse position than they did really.
