Thanks. When mounted on inner fender, does it drip on innerfender when you change filter?
Do you have a photo?

Not just now but I'll try to remember to get one after the sun comes back up. It might be from an odd angle, though, with the K&N FIPK heat shield hiding it.

Jumping in with my reasons:
- The anti-drainback check valve that the factory installed is a common point of failure; when the valve gets gummed up and sticks closed it stops all cooling flow and the transmission quite often goes with it.
- The filter brings back the anti-drainback feature, but it's easily and cheaply replaced as part of routine maintenance.
- With the remote filter in place, the internal filter sees only clean ATF, so need not be changed unless/until it is in danger of deterioration due to extreme age.
- With the filter plumbed between the transmission and the cooler, the fines that are normally seen by and get stuck to the cooler tube walls are trapped before they get that far.
- When I do my fanatical full fluid change, it's made easier by the extension hoses that plumb the filter into the cooling line.

i mounted mine low on the passenger side inner fender. near the horn.
its easy to change, and spills straight down and makes very little mess.
plumb it into the hot line, so it filters prior to the cooler. thats the one with the check valve, and which goes into the bottom of the radiator cooler. if any doubt, stick the hoses into a bucket and operate truck in neutral for a moment.
here's a lot of old pics.
