Funny you mention loosing a line that actually happened to me!!!

I then had hydraulic hose made up to replace it but it's now just hanging on my frame not hooked up and it's a 1/8 pipe tap on the filter housing that I already have a sensor in for my oil pressure gauge a real gauge unlike the stock 7psi switch that the ecm just guesses the oil pressure from

I also don't like that the life blood of the engine 100% is flowing though rubber hoses. We all know that hot oil over time will dry rot the rubber. All you need is to be going 80 miles an hour down the road and have one of the lines let go. Your engine will never survive through that. Now the engine longevity you tried gaining was lost anyway. The beauty about the Cummins is on the stock filter housing a 1/4 tap is available for a single bypass system.

I posted on your other vid. I think Amsoil makes a great product. However, with the complete bypass kit that you tried installing I have my reasons why not to use it. For one, I don't like the fact that you are now entitled to use both Amsoil's full flow filter and Bypass where as if you just used the bypass filter you still can use the stock full flow filter allowing you to use the Amsoil, Donaldson, Wix, Fleetguard, Baldwin, what ever full flow filter you want.

@gibill16 - If the engine actually had zero oil pressure, then we'd be able to clearly hear all the metal-to-metal wear and tear clattering of metal parts making contact with each other. But we don't. So something else is going on here. A bypass filter doesn't filter all the oil at one time anyway, so even if the bypass filter were 100% plugged, oil would still flow through the regular spin-on full flow oil filter and provide oil pressure. Again, something is wrong.

[gibill16]

so you're telling me that somehow the stock 7psi switch and my aftermarket gauge are both wrong at the same time???

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

Okay, but in your video showing zero oil pressure with the engine running, if there were really zero oil pressure, then the engine would be making all sorts of metal-to-metal clattering noises. Since it didn't, then it must have had oil pressure, which would seem to indicate that something was preventing oil pressure to read on the gauges even though there was actually adequate oil pressure in the engine. Again, something isn't right.

[gibill16]

my system relocates the full flow to one unit with the bypass filter mounted on the frame

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

If correctly installed, the bypass oil filter should have no effect at all on the regular full flow spin-on oil filter. Something isn't right.

[gibill16]

it still has amsoil oil just disconnected the bypass filter setup there might be something wrong with it dunno

wtf is wrong with amsoil then?
