Someone on here was doing that, I'm not sure if it"s a good idea or not. It does sound interesting though.

I am confused as usual.
If the DCA is for Diesel, what is the SCA for, it's the one that is talked about most here (SCA strips to test SCA)etc.
?

I've been led to believe it's two names for the same thing. Maybe someone will chime in with a huge breakdown of it if there's a difference though.

Napa calls this one a coolant filter kit P/N 4019 (no filter).
P/N 4070 would be the coolant filter with no additive charge added.

For what it's worth the website calls part number FIL 4019 a fuel filter base. For some reason I can't view any of the product images on their site right now though so I can't match the pictures...

So i guess its about time for me to put something back into the site other than my opinions! So here is my write up on how i installed my coolant filter! So here it goes
What you need:
Filter head kit Napa PN: 4019
Wix Coolant Filter PN: 4070
4" of angle iron
Drill bits/drill
Heres what i started with.
I cut it down to size, did some painting and mounted the filter head and filter on to the angle iron. It should look something like this
I used teflon tape around the fittings and tightened them down pretty good. I was worried about over-tightening them at first, but once i hooked it up it leaked a little and i ended up having to retighten them.
I chose to mount the filter off of the alternator like so
Mark the locations of the two bolts on the alternator on your angle iron, and drill the holes so you can put the alternator bolts through to hold the bracket youve made.
Heres how i routed the hoses:
Its been about 2 months now since ive added the filter, so i figure it should be time to change it when i do my next oil change. When i do, ill cut it open and see what kind of stuff it has fished out of the motor. Should be good to see. Hope this helps someone.
NOTICE: The first time i did this i routed the hoses wrong, but i fixed all the information in the above write up. So don't be confused the comments about what was to be fixed as its been taken care of.
