Can someone please post the coolant filter partnumber a for the water pump mounted filters. Additive and non additive. Thank you!

Thank you Glen!

 

X2 great filter

 

Im running a Baldwin. It is not pre charged.

Baldwin Filter B5089 Coolant Filter

 

Napa 4071.
Non-charged

Cant remember if Napa 4070 or 4072 is the charged one. Its either of those tho lol.

 

Does anyone have a photo to post of this setup? I'd like to see what is involved with installing a coolant filter. Are there different installation options?

 

There are two different options for installing a coolant filter.
An aftermarket kit such as the dieselsite kit (I originally had one of those installed).

And swapping your water pump for an IH water pump which has a place for a filter to mount on it directly.

There are plenty of pics and links in here.

The IH water pump swap is a tad more work, but if your water pump is on its way out you might as well IMHO.

 

Thanks, Alex. I replaced my water pump last year. That would've been a good time to add the coolant filter, if I'd known. I'll read through those links you provided.

 

Alex, you ever get those angled pieces figured out?

 

If the OP doesn't mind, how essential is this mod for a daily driver, i rarely tow and don't put on many annual miles. My SCAs are in good order, is that sufficient?

 

Yeah Glenn I got it all figured out. It only required me to remove the pump again to tighten them with the proper angle. REALLY tight in there! lol
I now understand why everyone recommends the 45° fittings. You need them.

 

Corey, after reading this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ng-system.html

You will probably realize the benefit to having a coolant filter.
Maintaining SCA isn't the only concern. All 7.3 blocks were cast with sand and there is some in your engine circulating.
I will have to get a picture of the blades of the water pump I just removed to get you an idea of what this sand can do. I maintained my SCA levels as well.

Who's to say that if you followed the manual recommended flush schedule and maintained SCA perfectly that you won't have any issue, but I am not the original owner of my truck and I would much rather spend $100 on an aftermarket kit with $10 filter changes than to replace an engine block/main bearings etc

Just my .02

 

Damn, i hear that... I guess ill strongly consider it.... Thanks.

 

Corey, when I bought my dually, I got lucky to get it from a guy that did all the maintenance on it. I got most of the paper work with the truck. As soon as I got it, I tore it down and did all my mods at once and the IH water pump with filter was one of the mods. I ran this filter for about 5K, convinced me it was necessary.

Edit: second filter looked a lot better!
