remove engine oil cooler - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hi guys,

my cooler lines from my engine oil cooler are leaking on the flexible part.

I have a Heavy Duty edition of the K20 Suburban, but dont haul anything nor intent to haul anything with it.

So I decided to remove the EOC.

Can I just unscrew the oil filter and adapter that connects the cooler-lines and then just screw a new oil filter directly to the engine?

Somebody told me I need to get an adapter to put between my engine and oil filter? The function of the adapter would be to bypass the filter if it gets to dirty?

I have searched rockauto, but cant find such a thing?

so:
1. can I just screw a new oil filter directly onto the engine?
2. if no, where can I find such an adapter?

You need the 'adapter' part that allows the oil filter to attach to the motor. GM EOC bypass bodies have the filter adapter integral to the body so if the EOC bypass assembly is removed, you have to replace it w/a non EOC oil filter adapter.
