I believe @PSD POWER007 has this setup (or maybe it's the relo kit...) - maybe he'll chime in.

the crows foot for tightening the lines, especially the ones at the cooler block in the valley

 

Tighten the lines on block end before assembling everything around them. My crows foot are permanently installed as I was not going to pull everything apart again. But they are there if I ever need them...

 

Thank you. I appreciate the tip.

Found a few threads on the topic, there are more if you Google BPD air to oil cooler.. (google bullet proof diesel air to oil.. didn’t work as well. ). Or BPD remote oil filter had quite a few links too.

One thing to note, looks to me like the remote oil filter option locates the new oil filter in the front wheel well, with a guard. I run rough gravel / bush / logging / mining roads and off road somewhat often, that might not be a good location for myself. But it does sound like a better option.

From what I’ve read, it looks to me like low oil temps may the biggest issue I would face in Northern Ontario, Canada. I’d have to run a winter front cover.

If anyone else has further advice, or experience with it, especially in cold weather, feel free to chime in.

A few threads for future searches of the topic…

Remote vs OEM oil filter with BPD oil cooler kit?

I'm hoping get some thoughts from members who have the Bullet Proof Diesel remote oil cooler system on their 6.0. I'm getting ready to do it on my '04 and am leaning towards the system that retains the OEM oil filter instead of the remote filter behind the bumper. My feeling is that the...

Bullet Proof Diesel Oil Cooler Kit....Stock Oil Filter...

Going back and forth on ordering this kit. Going on my 05 f550 dump truck. Is the remote oil filter worth the extra couple hundred bucks vs the stock oil filter location? Since Ford has an updated oil cooler....do the updated ones clog? I am religious on my maintenance and have a coolant...

I have this kit. It is absolutely wonderful. Running it along with the 7.3 clutch fan, oil temps NEVER get over about 205* while towing in the HOT Georgia heat. I have the filter mount that is located in the front left filter well, it’s very well protected behind the bumper and in front of the bracket the BPD provides. Being in the cold climate, you might wanna opt for the thermostat option. This is a VERY high quality and reliable set up. I chose their warm weather large cooler kit with the remote mount filter and no thermostat. As far as the installation, it’s a big one, but the instructions are excellent and has great pictures, you shouldn’t have much trouble. Just take your time and plan a full weekend. You won’t regret your purchase.
I’ll even take the toughness of the kit a step further. I had a brand new KDD stage 1 engine along with this kit installed in my 05 Excursion. Was on my way through Atlanta one rainy morning, hit a patch of water, hydroplaned into a concrete wall head on at 55 mph. Hit the wall so hard that both batteries came out and rolled about 20 yards down the road, the front of the truck was SMASHED. I bought it back from the insurance company so that I could keep my new motor. I bought another 05 Excursion and transplanted my motor AND BPD kit into it, the oil cooler, and filter survived the crash injury free. I thought for sure the cooler and filter would be damaged, but they didn’t have a scratch.

Thank you, I appreciate the real world feedback.

That’s quite the impact, glad you’re ok!

 

 

Had it done abour 5 years ago on my 05 F350. It was a bit over my head at the time so I bit the Bullet (see what I did there?) and paid to have it done ($3000 +-) Very happy with it as I pull a 34 ft Wildcat fifthwheel and I've had no problems. Plan to drive it till I have to surrender my liscense... LOL I LOVE MY TRUCK!

 

Idk why I get the idea at night, but here is a pic of it.... the bracket comes out for every oil change.

 

Thank you jullsplv. Appreciate the pic. Where I am, I run bush roads etc, big / sharp gravel, rocks, dirt, branches, mud, etc etc.

Plus that whole area will get soaked in oil/Woolwax for rust prevention, makes a mess to work in. Lots of the oils just wash off in the wheel wells. I think it’d turn into a mixed rusty, muddy, oily, beat up mess. Probably not where I want a filter hanging, or an area I want to take apart to service every 5k.

Changing the filter in that location is a piece of cake. But I live in the south and don’t have to deal with salt and rust either. So I understand where you are coming from.
