Frantz Bypass Oil Filter System - Thoughts?

[PetroleumJunkie412]

Finally found a photo of a factory 4.0l SOHC oil cooler actually hanging on the engine.

I think its worth borrowing one off of bezos to see if it fits. Having trouble finding the hollow bolt that goes up through it though.

Would give options on using it as is, or making an oil filter extension housing.

Actually.

@85_Ranger4x4 need your parts catalog wizardry.

Any idea as to the part number for the bolt tube thing? I think the cooler is 1L2Z-6A642-FA

Looks like if you got a Ford one it comes with a free oil cooler, I don't see it shown separately.

Damn.

I think the part number for the cooler is 1L2Z-6A642-FA... not sure about the bolt. May have to go to the junkyard, or at a minimum create an account in explorer land and ask around.

I know recently Ford is big on one use hardware, it could be a similar situation back then where they didn't even offer it seperate.

Maybe...

I did find this on ebay, but it's for F150 if memory serves

So, talked to local ford dealer. You are correct, it came with the insert. Isn't otherwise available, but is re-usable.

There is one at the local Napa. $700.

They just drug a 2010 4L Eddie Bauer exploder into the junkyard this morning. Headed there this week/weekend to go harvesting.
