Oil Filter Adapter
I just joined this forum after buying a 1999 F150 4x4 Lariat 5.4l a few months ago.
Now I have a big problem, and hope someone can help.
The truck is having the engine replaced in a local shop. Somehow the oil filter adapter (Ford P/N F75Z-6B895-DA) got cracked. My truck has the remote oil filter without the oil cooler. The oil pressure sender screws into a boss on the remote hose. All the dealers show this part superseded with no replacement.
The dealers also show the adapter with the oil cooler (Ford P/N F75Z-6881-FA), and state that it is a direct cross. The only problem with that, is that oil pressure sender connects directly to the adapter, and is too close to the front differential. It would also require a new remote hose assembly to make it work.
Is there anybod here that have run into this problem, and if so, how did you fix it.
I live in Houston, but work in Louisiana. The truck is in a shop in Kenner, La.
Any Help would be appreciated.
