So I think I have decided to relocate the oil filter on my 2001 F-150 4wd. It seems that most kits come with a bypass adapter. I am thinking that I would not want an adapter with a bypass in it, since it wouldn't have this from the factory, and I'm not doing this to a high-rpm, high-volume needs hot rod. Hopefully some of you knowledgeable folks will chime in.
The reason I want to relocate the filter is one, due to easier access, and second, I hate the mess it makes when oil drips all over the front differential, that isn't able to be cleaned real easily.
