I e-mailed the guy.

Oh......shit. ? That would work. Plumb in a filter and cooler. If you have to take the JT in to the dealer. It would be easy to remove.

Great find!!!

Let us know what he says. I'm still waiting for the oil filter housing to ship.

Looks a little rough in some places but would be pretty awesome if there are no leaks... I can't wait to hear how it goes for him and his buddies! Think it could help with our cooling issues?

Wow. so this would be great with a full flow bypass and oil cooler setup

Pretty affordable option.

?? am I missing something? This is on a 2018- previous generation ecodiesel.

@californiajeeping ???? I see it now! Thanks

Also! Totally agree! Great place to plumb the oil cooler!

It just replaces the oil filter. It might work on jeeps too. There have been revisions to the filters but I dont think this would care.

i got a reply back from Michael.

"Dear sir,
I'm on the Gladiator forum. Someone linked your thread on the Bypass Adapter to on of our threads about the 3gen Eco. We have been looking for something like this. Do you know if your bypass adapter will fit a 3gen Eco? "

Hi Russ.
Thanks for your interest in the adapter. I’m a devoted user in Amsoil products. I have used their remote filter system on every vehicle I’ve owned. I wanted to use it on my eco diesel but Amsoil doesn’t have an adapter. So I made one. When the factory filter is installed, it holds a drain valve closed. When you unscrew the filter cover the drain valve opens allowing the oil to drain into the oil pan. The adapter works the same way. Keeping the drain valve closed keeps the adapter full of oil, allowing the engine to build oil pressure quicker.
I know the adapter will fit on the gen 3 engine, but I’m not sure there is clearance on a gladiator. When you have time, please take some pictures of the area around your filter. It would be more accurate if you included a ruler in the photos. Measurements would be helpful. Send those to me and I’ll take a look. I know my dealer doesn’t have one on the lot. If there isn’t enough room, there is the possibility of shortening the adaptor. ?Maybe ?
Thanks, Michael"

"Michael,
Here are the pictures. Hope those help. From looking at your pictures. Looks like just need to use a 90* fitting on the side, instead of a straight fitting.

The guys on the Gladiator forum are looking for a way to install a oil cooler. The Eco in the JT likes to run hot. Some have derated. This will kill 2 birds. Oil cooler and filter. Can I post your e-mail address on the forum? "

This could work really well. Similar to what Baxter makes for the 3.6 and said they will be making for the 3.0 at some point. Keep us posted @Rusty PW !

I asked him for a price yesterday, and he hasn't gotten back to me.

Maybe someone interested in this would be close enough to him to be the beta tester.
