XDP and use discount code DIESEL10 at check-out for another 10% off and it will be free shipping since it is over $49. It uses the common filter size most use -- has one in kit and is a very complete kit...
mishimoto makes an all silicone tube version you can pick your color, if bling is your thing.

XDP and Sinister are ok, used them both but they are the typical cheapest chinese brass fittings and hardware available. Last kit I used one one from Riffraff and I have to say that with it being less than Sinister and I think even what I paid for XDP it was a great kit. All made in the USA like everything else they seem to do. No cheap yellow brass, but instead nickel plated. Worth taking a look at IMO.

I have nothing against RiffRaff, in fact I buy from and recommend them, just didn't want the mis-perception that XDP's kit wasn't made in the USA, which it is -- it also is a more complete kit than RiffRaff's. Other than my own mistakes made on install, the XDP kit was the best value out there when I looked and has performed flawlessly for me...
I've had 2 valves leak on my XDP kit. One in the first year. So they warrantied it no questions asked. Second one, I was on my own. Keep a spare valve handy if you get xdp is my advice. Other than that, no issues with xdp.

Delta: when you get the kit, double up on the teflon tape and tighten the crap out of the threaded fittings. Lay out the whole set of lines and decide where you might want to shorten the provided lines, to make a cleaner install. All the factory lines are either removed for later use (if you sell the truck) or are just tied into, you don't cut ANY factory lines.
Mine looks a lot like identical to one of these mentioned but was on eBay for 60$ and seems to be working great. Came with one filter and everything needed to install.

Wow! There are a TON of knock-off kits out there now!!! I looked at them in price: low to high order and it wasn't until I got to around $120 that there was a kit with the tie-in, including radiator to degas line, included (like the XDP kit has).
But for $60 I'd probably just cut mine and install their tee.... That's a $50+ difference for just one pre-made-up line and connection.
ATTENTION: Whatever kit (or homemade) coolant filter you go for, DO NOT USE THE PLASTIC T's ! I know that it isn't IF they will fail, it's WHEN. OK, carry on!
I dont know if any of the manufactures still use a plastic T-fitting in the heater hose. Dont get one with that plastic T, or just replace that from the start. I almost lost my engine because of it.
