I've already contacted the rebuilder about this, and they gave me a part number to order, and it wasn't the right part. I know this isn't the best situation but it is what it is now, and I'm just trying to get my truck going again. I found this part from the same site:

Would this be right? Could the bypass valve be configured differently for my engine? Do I need the bypass valve? |
I stand corrected. That part in your link is probably what's missing. The bypass valve is the "washer looking" round item located at about 12:00 in your picture. Yes, you need a bypass valve. It's to prevent oil starvation in the event the oil filter plugs up and stops oil flow.
