Fromage and I have both done 4D34 conversions on our cruisers. He has recently experienced some interference between his oil filter and the front driveshaft. While he had sufficient clearance while sitting on the bumpstops, dynamically the bumps must have deflected enough to cause some interference.
The 4D34 uses a pretty rare thread pitch on the filter, 26x1.5mm.
The stock filter is a WIX 51675/NAPA 1675 with the following specs:
Part Number:1675
UPC Number:765809141131
Principal Application:Mitsubishi Trucks
</B>All Applications
Style:Spin-On Lube Filter
Service:Lube
Type:Full Flow/By-Pass
Media:Paper
Height:5.981
Outer Diameter Top:4.282
Outer Diameter Bottom:Closed
Thread Size:26X1.5 MM
By-Pass Valve Setting-PSI:13-16
Beta Ratio:2/20=6/20
Nominal Micron Rating:6
Gasket Diameters
Number
O.D.2.834
I.D.2.462
Thk.0.200
The following filter, WIX 51067 / Napa 1067 is the only smaller filter that has the same inlet size.
Part Number:1067
UPC Number:765809135963
Principal Application:Ford Ranger, Bronco II w/Mitsubishi Diesel (85-87), Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks</B>All Applications
Style:Spin-On Lube Filter
Service:Lube
Type:Full Flow/By-Pass
Media:Paper
Height:5.362
Outer Diameter Top:4.016
Outer Diameter Bottom:Closed
Thread Size:26X1.5 MM
By-Pass Valve Setting-PSI:19-22
Anti-Drain Back Valve:Yes
Burst Pressure-PSI:270
Max Flow Rate:11-13 GPM
Nominal Micron Rating:30
Gasket DiametersNumber
O.D.2.874
I.D.2.600
Thk.0.125
The main differences between the filters are that the 1067 has a higher bypass pressure setting (19-22psi versus 13-16) and a larger filtration size (30 micron versus 6). The gasket size is also slightly different, but I don't believe that would be an issue.
Both filters list Mitsubishi diesel engines as applications.
There are no spin-on filter relocation adaptors that I could find, so that really isn't an option.
I am trying to avoid needing to purchase a lift right now... I have 30mm MAF spacers already, and I think with the shorter filter I should be fine... I just don't want to put the engine at risk...
Thoughts?
