I posted a new thread of what I found today in my filter. Check the pictures of the coolant that came out of the filter. That coolant has not been filtered yet.

Can I have your opinions on who makes the best Coolant filter

For this... The best coolant filter is putting the kit together.
Here is the link for the filter mount.
Trans-Dapt Performance Products 1028 - Trans-Dapt Performance Remote Oil Filter Brackets - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Link for filters.
Dieselsite Coolant Filters - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

The hoses can be found at a hydrolic shop or auto store. Fittings can be found at any store with brass fittings.

Oh, about 20 minutes of your time. Get the ball valves from them or make your own, $17.50 from them, about $6 for home made brass ones from my local plumbing store. (that's each price)

Do those ball valves come with the dfuser kit? And did anyone post a link the 6.0 tech thread on how to install them?

Not familiar with the dfuser kit. The dieselsite kit was real simple.

You can see mine in this picture:

You can see under the CAC tube where you put the "T" in the heater hose. The outlet hose just runs across fan shroud over to the hose that returns from radiator to degas bottle. And you can see the "t" into the return line to degas at far left of the next picture, and see the hose coming across the fan shroud from the filter housing.
