Unfortunately it is just bypass or in paralell to the oem oil flow, correct?M22 1.5 to 10AN fittings... May try to install one, clearance it and install the other but they won't go directly in.
Has anyone completed either the blockoff plate or the bung adapter for an oil cooler......I think making a block off plate with the 2 ports. An external amsoil dual filter setup and a cooler with fans. Done deal. Make the oil temps independent of coolant and double your filtration and way more cooling. Now if only it fit in a bumper or something well protected.
wonder of there is a way to get a 230 degree thermostat for the factory oil cooler? plenty of cars use that tech for either oil or transmission cooling. Reading the other thread now.https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/ecodiesel-power-derating-as-temps-rise.45447/
I started posting in the thread around page 44. Lots of good info thru the entire thread.
The highlights of what I verified through my own personal testing.
RPM’s below 2K is the most economical way to keep oil temps low.
The oil filter housing has an oil T-Stat that does not open until 240*. I actually never got flow thru the factory oil cooler when testing with pressure gauge. I was only able to get the temps in the low 230* while testing. Under heavy load the oil temps rise fast until about 240* then slowly increase from there. Pictures of a new oil cooler housing posted in the thread mentioned show what looks like a TStat in the center of housing.
Ambient temps do not play as big a roll as I thought. Driving thru TX panhandle, instant change from 90* to 60* had no noticeable effect on engine temps. I was monitoring very closely due to derating on that trip. Low RPM’s, below 2K was the only thing that keep temps low.
Read thru the other forum. I apologize for the questions but I think I want to come up with a similar design for my inbound JTURD. I plan on adding a Banks Idash so I can keep an eye on EGTs and DPF status.Fortunately, I’ve never been stranded with the JTRD or JLURD. I’ve derated (wire harnesses to hot). Just took a few minutes to cool off. Over 40k between the two. So far the derate problem has been solved.
I’ve talked to a few manufacturers of 12v oil pumps. None recommended there products coming off the pan without first cooling the oil off to about 175* before entering the pump.
Ive had no luck searching for an oil housing TStat.
It's a floating bypass valve that moves with the filter.So quick question...do we know if the valve spring black plastic item located in the oil filter assy is actually a temperature valve or is it a bypass valve?.
