Lee,
Mine isn't mounted as far forward as I would have liked as I had my coolant filter up front and have never taken the time to swap them. The only issue with mounting it that far back is you need to keep an eye on the supply line, if you use heater hose like most of us, it will soften in tim and actually sag. I change mine about every 3 years or so, only takes 5 min to do, but when you change your oil look for sage, if you have them, cut some off the end and pull it tight again, or place some zip ties to support it along the way. If you get to much of a low spot oil can collect and cause back pressure on the system, and you don't want that!!!
That goes also for the one wanting to use a air compressor dryer, NOT ON A POWERSTROKE!!!! There might be some using that on a ricer car, but there is no way it will work on a Powerstroke without causing back pressure, and these engines are very sensitive to back pressure, it will turn your powerstroke into a oil fountain real quick. So beware with doing your own testing!!! You have been warned. I am not getting rich of these things, not like many think, by the time I ship, pay Raul, buy the parts there isn't a lot left over. I do this to make it affordable for everyone, and hopefully people won't try and copy it and compete against me if they can't make a killing. So far it has worked, all though lately I have caught several members just trying to steal my idea to save a few dollars. I won't go into my feeling regarding people like this, most of you probably feel the same. But as I said if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me, but don't ask for photos.
NCH Out
