A common problem (one I have had myself) is steering box leakage due to improper weight of steering box lubricant. Once I put the correct weight of lubricant in the seepage stopped.

Back to your original question, don't waste your money on the manifold mounted oil filter but rather find a full flow filter and install that on your truck and only if you plan to use it as a daily driver.

There is tons of info in the forums on both type filters and how to install them so I would suggest doing a search by clicking the search button at the top of the page type in "oil filter" and wait for the search to find your search results. You can find lots of good tips on any subject by doing a search.

My conclusion would be that a bypass filter is better than nothing but not as efficient as a full flow filter.
