Oil Tap for bypass
I have a 04 cummins and I am looking for a place on the block to get oil pressure from for a bypass filter I don't want to take it from the filter housing as others are doing as this takes away from the turbo oiling I have seen 2 other engines with turbo failure do to lack of oil

If you put on the correct kit you will not have an issue pulling from the oil filter housing. You can't just us any kit on a CR. It will drop the pressure too much.

I have ran the dual amsoil on my 2004.5 since 10k and now have 131k on the truck. Installed the dual under the bed on passenger side. Has been great to service and have not had any trouble.
Sorry for your 2 failures and hope you have better luck in the future.

Because those who have tried using the remote mounts have had serious oil pressure problems. Seems to me that the oil filtration system is very reliable so why would you risk moving it and taking a chance at destroying your engine?

I haven't looked real close on mine, but is there a hole already tapped and plugged on our trucks? I am assuming it is close to the stock filter mounting flange?
