This question is for my old man's GMC gasser, but you guys have tons of knowledge on this stuff so I thought I'd ask.
He has a 2003 GMC with (he says) an 8.1L and wants to put an oil relocation kit on it.

What is a good kit to look at?

I found a lot of Perma Cool kits but I don't like the fact the hoses are held on with clamps. I think I would want something swaged. Any input or suggestions are appreciated.

 

Have you looked here ??

SUMMIT

 

is there a reason you need it moved? Like if you put a high volume oil pump and want a bigger filter?

What are the pros to this?

 

It may just be that it's a bitch to get to where it is right now.

 

kinda like the back two plugs on my truck. Thank god for a swivel socket.
That and our damn front diffs, I dont know how much different the ifs is from yalls axle but those upper bolts are a mother to get to.

 

BINGO!
It's right above the front drive shaft knuckle and it pukes oil all over it when removed.
Then it flings it everywhere once it spins.

 

Can't he just do the ziplock bag thing like we do with our oil filters?

 

yeah I just use a walmart plastic bag.

 

2 reasons:

[ol][*]He's retired and has too much time on his hands[*]I didn't think to suggest that[/ol]The kicker is , he doesn't even do his own oil changes [8D].
