4.3 V6 Oil Cooler delete DANGER!!!!
 
Danger of filter blowing off, engine damage and accident!

DO NOT DO THIS MOD AND DRIVE IT UNTIL YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE FILTER STUD IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED, RISK OF FILTER BLOWING OFF:

Just screwing the filter tube into the block on my 95 4,3 left only TWO THREADS HOLDING THE FILTER ON! The threaded tube screws too far into the block leaving insufficient thread engagement with the filter.
