    Smile Optimizer 6.5 T/D Oil Filter Adapter

    So I have a new engine going in a 95 2wd dually. The old blown engine that I took out had an oil filter adapter. I'm assuming it's for clearances in certain applications. I installed that engine probably 15 years ago, and think we took it out of a suburban. Anyone have any additional information regarding this adapter?

    Thanks

    The adapter is for 4x4 applications. Nothing special or more than that.

    I figured as much. So my oil cooler lines (aluminum I think) that bolt to the block are bent and restrictive. I'm thinking about just using fittings to braided high pressure line, cut to fit. Any thoughts? Thanks

    The oil cooler lines you describe are similar to what TDP vendors sell. If you have the means to build your own, by all means, do so. Otherwise, you can buy a kit. The OEM lines have never been reliable. The same applies to PS lines, although less catastrophic when they fail, and they aren't out of sight.

    I can make my own, or have them made to length but want to look at TDP? Do you have a website address or link etc? I can't find it. Thanks

    The TDP (The Diesel Page) vendors support this forum, and ensure we can continue. Please visit This Page. Lubrication Specialist (member Greg Landuyt) stocks and sells the kit I referred, although there may be others I don't know of.
