Has anybody found a way to put a bypass filter on a 6.0 yet?

I don't imagine it would be hard?

Find the oil pressure sensor and get a "t" block so you can use the sensor and send oil out the side to a remote mounted bypass system. I have seen people get a factory oil cap and drill/tap it for the return line. If you did that it would easily be removed without doing any permanent mods or drilling on the truck.

Several companies make them. I used oilguard. Mounted the filter to the frame and the return to the drivers side valve cover.

Almost forgot, the supply comes from the OEM filter cap.
