I have used the dieselsite filter and the PMM filter. I have a thread with pictures of both kits.

To use a signature, click on User CP on the upper left and then click Signature on the left side.

Another Sinister user here, cut open the first two filters had a fair amount of junk (sand grit and so on). Happy with the way it works.

Dieselsite for about five? years now.

Coolant bypass filter kits are pretty simple in the grand scheme of things. Go with price.

Built my own, probably didn't save a dime, but I built it. That's gotta make it better...
I did a complete flush when I put it on, and haven't really found a whole bunch of stuff in the filter since.

Built my own too, I didn't want mine sitting on top and hoses running on top of my engine , so I tucked it in down by the windshield washer fill tube and battery. Check out my build pics on my user page. Click on albums

Dfuser performance diesel. Just a normal Baldwin filter base with all the hardware you need. It's not pretty anodized blue bling, but it comes with all the parts for almost exactly what you could find them all on their own for (a lot cheaper than if you buy them all from one place like Grainger).

I'm running a homemade filter also, but I think I'm the only rebel using a whole house sediment filter Pics in the gallery, and I have the one and only Oil Cooler pre-filter in road testing stage.

Now that's a Deluxe way to wrench on your rig, that's until you spill coolant when changing your coolant filter.
