Changed coolant filter after approx. 500 miles.

Well since the ol truck was down I figured I would go ahead and change my coolant filter since its been about 5-600 miles since I have had the filter installed. Now keep in mind that I have never done a coolant flush. Just did the filter mod during other repairs to give me a little peace of mind.

Doesn't look too bad at all. 3 more months and you get to change filter 2!

That's about what mine looked like after the first 500mi. And I flushed the engine 7 times before I installed the filter. At least you know it's working.

I didnt think it was too bad considering there hasnt been a flush yet. Only owned truck a year so dont know what was done coolant wise prior. And your right, atleast I know its working.

Crap that reminds me why I didn't toss out my filter from the first change now. I tossed her in the scrap pile the other day and recycled it already
