'98 Busurban Storm Chase Vehicle Build

[HotWheelsBurban]

I'm like that with any old car. Especially muscle cars. But since I own a suburban I always annoy the family with pointing out how many times a burb in a film lol

Yeah, I do that with the TV, and on the road too. That's how I find trucks to take pictures of....

So the oil cooler lines are leaking like a sieve (along with the adapter). Do you guys think I could pull off the adapter and lines and thread on one of the shorty oil filters? Would I be able to get it out (after I reinstall the front driveshaft).

I could just replace the seal and the cooler lines, but I don't really want to spend the cash right now (I'm trying to build up a bit of a nest egg right now).

If you replace the adapter seal, don’t forget to buy new GM bolts. They have seals on them and are known to leak themselves.

Say what now? I don't recall my trucks having those.

Oil filter adapter bolts have seals built in on underside of bolt head. If the seal fails, oil will leak out.

Yeah I saw that in your link. I'll have to pay more attention next time I have one apart.

My main question is if I could just remove the horizontal filter adapter and just thread one of those shorty oil filters directly on the block (Or is there a missing piece).

There is a missing piece. Readily available though.

^That's what I did on mine, so much better now. Mine is 2wd though, so don't know if a front driveshaft would be in the way.

I used the above adapter and an ac Delco pf454 oil filter on my k2500. There is room to spare when using that oil filter.
