Dieselsite makes some pretty good coolant filters. They would be my first choice.

All the bypass systems are very similar. The differences are mostly asthetic. I've been running a DieselSite for many years, without issue.

While your at it; get a new Stant (10238) Degas Bottle cap. I got one for about $5. I also tested my factory cap and it would not hold pressure (let go at about 9-10 psi). The new one held all the way to 16-18 psi then let off. Saw a video from PowerStrokeHelp.com on You Tube and he says its the best $5 bucks you can spend on a truck.

One of the things I am planning to do with my X is to install a coolant filter. I have looked at several different cooler systems but they seem to use T fittings to connect to the engine. What puzzles me is how does this work? I could see if the heater hose was cut and one end went to one side of the filter and the other side of the filter went back to the heater hose, basically putting the filter in flow of the water. With T fittings the water has the choice of going into the filter or taking the less restricted path of the hose.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?

It's a "bypass" filter kit. I forgot the exact details but after like a minute or something it has filtered 100% of the fluid. They do it this way because if the filter got clogged it will still let the coolant flow through everything. If all the coolant went through it would back up and not let the coolant pass.
