Is this coolant filter kit a PSD only add on or V10s as well?

 

You could put the coolant filter on a gaser no problem.

 

Great, another thing to spend money on. Where does it end?

 

That's the thing, it doesn't

I tried to figure out how to PM you & could not.

Can you send me any info on how to install coolant filter & if so
what brand is best. Is a coolant filter included in any of Gooch's
flush instructions?

Also, unrelated - I could not find the link on 7.3L motor oils and wanted to make sure I was ok using Motorcraft 15W-40 and MC filter.

Thanks

 

Sneltyr- I bought a coolant filter from http://www.dieselsite.com/coolantfiltration.aspx

 

Interesting. I did not know that the 6.0L had an oil cooler that used coolant to exchange heat. That's where my confusion came from.

Reps to you!

 

Reps to you for living on the Island of Maui, hands down my favorite place on earth. My wife and I want to retire in Makawao.

 

And so I shall.

 

I've read lots on the oil cooler topic and have come to the conclusion the Ford gold precipitates in the oil cooler causing blockage. I'm sold on the Delo ELC or equivalent.

I'm running a coolant filter, also back flushed and trying a quart of RMI-25 for a while to save my cooler.

 

I just had the engine stripped down to the block. I think i should be ok. But do i still need it for the 6.0? Call me paranoid...i love the 6.0 but it makes me nervous....

 

You don't have PM capabilities until you reach 25 posts.

The setup at Dieselsite.com is the only one I know about. Actually, scratch that. There was one person who has a setup purchased from another site, I remember seeing the pics, but I can't remember where he got it from.

As I stated above, nothing but good can come from a filter on the coolant system.

Yes, YES, and Y-E-S?

It's a cheap part that provides and insane amount of insurance coverage...

If I ever bought a 6.0, before I even bought one, I'd have a coolant filter waiting for it. That's just how important it is....

I think these are a lot better looking and a cleaner install. just my opinion
Sinister Diesel makes some quality products

 

Didn't read all the replys, just wanted to throw my .02 in here.

From everything I read I would use one on a 6.0 (the pickiest motor in history). But that would be it, I wouldn't have a coolant filter on anything else. There isn't much to be filtered in the coolant system and it is just another thing to have fail while on the road.

What happens when the filter plugs up? Overheated motor, on the side of the road, probably in the middle of nowhere. The coolant system doesn't like restrictions especially in the main path.

Vehicles have been fine for 100 years without a coolant filter, no need to start using one now (unless you have a 6.0 apparently).

Maybe we should start filtering the differential fluid too?
