Spin on upgrade, is there a primary oil filter?

[fsearls92]

Ok, so I added the spin on filter set for my duece and installed it today. When I went to get the 6 micron filter they only had one so I decided to get one six micron and one 12 micron filter. I am curious which filter the oil goes thru first. Is it the one closer to the cab or the front of the truck? Just this way I can put the 12 micron one on first so it can do its job then on to the 6 micron to further filter it.

I might be mistaken, but I believe that it goes through both at the same time.

If thats the case then it was not the best idea to put on two different filters?

They are in parallel. They should be matched filters.

 

[fsearls92]

Will it hurt anything driving it this way till they can get another matching one in?

 

[kennys@wi.rr.com]

Shouldn't. Just won't have much flow in the 6.

Thanks for the info, I will make sure to get a matching 6 micron ordered tomorrow.

You might get less overall flow with two 6's. I wonder if a 6 and a 12 is not a bad idea. Almost like having a full-flow filter and a bypass filter - assuming that the motor is getting enough volume of oil. But it should flow more volume with a 12 and a 6 than twin 6's.

Do you think two 6's is to much restriction? I just want to have the best filtering I can.

I don't know. But in general, a full-flow filter is more 'open' so that the bearings, etc. get plenty of flow and a bypass filter that can be as fine as you'd like can be added.

The filters will bypass at a certain pressure differential, so I guess that 6 micron filters could clog more quickly, triggering bypass (and no filtering at all).

Where is everyone getting these spin on kits? I've been searching the forums for a vendors section but can't find it. Is there a vendor that sells alot of mods/parts for these trucks? I'm hoping to pick one up this weekend!!!
