What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

If my engines start to leak from those adapters and cause grief I’ll just go with the straight up and down filter.Like was stated earlier it’s less leakage points to worry about in the long run.

I think (could be wrong) the part on the 90° can be removed and installed into the block.
Just swap these two:

I looked up the thread pitch on the filter. it shows to be 13/16 - 16. iirc 1/2" npt is 14 thread pitch.

Are you able to do that with a GMT400 4x4?

On the 2wd I used to use the 2 quart filter.

I was going to suggest trying that. I thought I remembered doing that, just a few short years ago.

It has been done before on a mid or early 90s K1500 with 305 or 350 that belongs to someone my father knows.Seems there is enough room to just install a straight up and down filter.
