I’ll be trying that once it’s running again. Had the oil feed line get melted by the exhaust manifold due to how I had it routed.
Does anyone know if the red circles port on the 3rz oil filter housing is pre or post oil filter? Currently running the feed line off of the front port (blue circle) and thinking of ways to reroute the feed line so I don’t almost burn the truck down again.

To follow up, the back port is unfiltered is what I’ve found. I plan on running a TurboSmart Oil Pressure regulator so it won’t matter as it’s internally filtered. I believe my P0172 code was due to the fuel injectors. I got one good drive in before I melted the oil feed line and had LTFT and STFT well under the 25%.
However, I made the tough choice to remove the turbo kit for the time being. Even with 5 psi the truck drove so much better but with my current living situation I can’t work on the truck and it is my daily with no back up. Hopefully that’ll change later this year and I can reinstall the turbo and have time to mess with it while having a backup rig off needed. For now I’ll enjoy the dual cases I’ve been dreaming up building since 2013.

Had some extra time yesterday so I stopped and weighted the truck, heavier than I thought it was but I don’t mind the 55/45 split. The only thing I really noticed is I’m 45 pounds away from exceeding the front axle GAWR and still have 1060 for the rear axle. Over all I’m still under the GVWR of 4800 pounds.
One thing I want to figure out is a better way for the middle stick on my triples. It’s way far back in high range. I’m thinking either cut and weld it or maybe try and turn it but then I think it’ll hit my transmission stick on low range. I also need to find some time an energy to straighten the three sticks so they’re even
