Hey guys. John Strenkowski/CPFF has been making some sweet products for our trucks for a while. Many 2nd genners have his oil bypass mounts and billet adapters, and he also is the inventor of the killer dowel pin etc. Anyway, he has a bolt on mount kit that I've installed on my 04, however, while the mounting location is ideal in that it's a very short and straight hose run, and the filters are protected, the metal tab that it's mounted to is thin, and it's causing an evil humming/resonance in my truck. We've eliminated all possibilities such as hoses/parts touching/rubbing anything, and even applied sound dampner and rubber to the mount to no avail. We believe that it must be more solidly mounted preferably to the block. He has a 2nd gen, and doesn't know/have anyone nearby with a 3rd gen to design the kit around. He will build the mount and install the kit for free, but you will have to supply/buy amsoil kit..

John has a full machine shop and makes awesome billet parts etc. Once he has designed this more solid mount, it will be available to all DTR members and cummins owners alike... And that will provide a direct bolt on installation of the bypass system - which is what most people want, not to have to do any drilling.

Guys please let me know if you're near Hartford CT and are willing to bring your truck to Johns some weekend. I am dying with this humming noise and have no means to fabricate any mounting setup. Other third genners will have this same problem with the mount, and a true solid bolt on kit would be a great thing to have available to us!

Anyone willing to help out, please pm or email me, or call John Strenkowski (an incredibly nice and helpful guy) at (860) 642-7033. Thanks guys!!

 

Lightman...did you get the "noise" from your Amsoil filter install fixed to your satisfaction?

What did you do to fix it?

 

No I havent fixed the noise, and nobody here from CT has responded to this offer yet. I'm surprised, since most consider this a challenging installation if you're not mechanically inclined/experienced, and the benefits of having a dual bypass system are sweet. Anyway, still hoping someone's going to take advantage of this!

 

If John was closer to the greater Bal'mer/Wash DC area, I'd let him put one on my truck.

 

hes going to the diesel drags in muncie if anyone wants to let him peep under the hood for a bit... but best done in Hartford...

 

I'm in Rhode Island. I might be interested. How much is the kit and how long will he need it?

 

Odie - give him a call at the number listed above during business hours.

 

Will do . Where can I purchase the bypass system?

 

You can get it from John as he's an amsoil dealer, or I would recommend checking out some of the site sponsors that are amsoil dealers...
