coolant filter mount plate
Does anyone make one that mounts to the fuel filter bracket on the 6.9? I live in an apartment and can't make one myself 
Terrapin MFG makes this one but he says he's not cutting anything right now.
I just got done installing a new water pump and radiator and figured it would be a good idea to start filtering the crap out of my cooling system.

Not sure where you could look. I came to this thread to look for ideas. I dont have a fuel filter tower, so thats out. But im looking at getting a coolant filter as well and havent thought of a good place to stash it.

I think I may have come up with something. I have the 1st gen Banks kit on my truck with the massive air box. There's a bracket bolted to the intake that supports the air box on the passenger side. Looks like a piece of flat stock or angle with some holes drilled in it might work...

Mine has been here forever. Works well and keeps the hoses out of the way.

Just make sure you leave room for the hood hinge.

I'm finally getting around to doing this using a piece of 1" angle bolted to the fuel filter tower.
Here's the drawing I came up with.
The bolts on the fuel filter were about 3/8", does that sound right? For those of you who have bolted the bracket onto the filter tower, are the stock bolts long enough or will I need longer ones?

Is that just an oil filter relocate kit? The reason I ask is I would like to add a coolant filter to my truck also but the packaged kits are outrageous.

Wix 24019 & Napa 4019 FilterBase: FleetFilter Secure Online Store
Plus one of these filters, depending on whether you want an SCA charge or not:
Wix Filters - Coolant: FleetFilter Secure Online Store
Nice thing is the filters can be had at NAPA too. Knowing the junk that's in my system, I'm not running an SCA charged filter for at least a year.
they need to be longer.at least another 1/2" i think,iirc but another whole inch longer can't hurt......well wait a sec lol.just needs to be longer to account for what your adding in there,so i guess another 1/2" would already be more than enough to account for that and get the nuts started easy enough.still,it's wide open so longer still wouldn't hurt.
