From the pic above. The left hose runs along the back of the engine bay and comes around to T into the overflow.
The other hose comes down, under all the pulleys and up to the port on the side of the water pump.
It is funny you brought this up because I am about to change the coolant filter for the first time (I know I ran it a little long, but not too many miles) and am eager to see what it looks like!

Yikes... Yeah I remember seeing your video on it.
I would have to check, but I think this filter only has 4-5k miles on it and most say change it after the first 3.
I know it isnt completely clogged tho cuz the lines still get warm.

Your running it more as a full flow than a bypass as well. Bit more pressure to push.

Alex, thanks for the pics, I asked them because Im planning to install mine soon and Im reviewing some write ups and threads related.
The hose that comes from the WP goes to the inlet of the filter cap, right? and from the OUTLET is the other one that goes to the overflow OK?.
As I can see is the same scheme as Travis installation, is anything wrong doing in this way?, because after checking several install, I decided to follow this one 
And Alex dont FORGET (less than 8 months) to upload some pics of the open filter OK?

And Yes the hose going out of the port(in the pic it is the port pointing towards the passenger side of the truck) "t"s into the hose between the overflow bottle and the top of the radiator.
I realize it isnt a pure bypass, but I have had no problems with restriction. Ever since I flushed and installed my "normal" gauge stays at N to O.
Also, I dont neglect maintenance so I dont plan on ever having a clogged coolant filter. or any other filter.

I say that because when Todd was replacing my HPOP
you need to remove the hose thats on top of the water pump to get to that plate to access the HPOP gear.. and fluid went everywhere. Since that side port is lower than the hose on top, I imagine it will let fluid come out too.
Oh and just cuz I was already out there taking pics for someone else I figured id make a video.

I had the system drained when I did it because I was going to flush it anyway, but I imagine you would lose quite a bit of fluid if you didnt do it fast.

Also, should the coolant filter ever get clogged up, it will be fine. The system will just operate as it was previously designed since coolant can't go through the filter. Nothing bad is going to happen from having a clogged coolant filter.
