Coolant filters.

IH tractors run a coolant filter factory, most anyway, AND you get these lil filters from Napa that already have the SCA charge right in them. so.... a long week in the fields and I have dreamed a pair up for the trucks. kill two birds with on stone.

I am thinking tap into the plug right under the T-Stat, go to filter, and then T into the line to the coolant tank?? will that work??? how are the others plumbed???

ive seen some of them run from the heater line to the tank. ive got the waterpumps off the t444e with the coolant filter already on them makes it a little easier that way.

Yea that would have been ideal, but I just did both water pumps within a year. so hopefully done with that for awhile, and these filter mounts were free out of the local bone yard.

Rod, that's the exact plumbing route that a lot of us took. Take a look at my gallery.

Mine too. That is exactly how mine is plumbed. I even use the lil Napa filter, just without the pre-charge.

well I didnt call napa to price out the filter, but the addative is $13 for one years charge, so I figured what the heck, if it is more for the filter, ohh well, it gets a 10 on the coolness scale I think.

I will try for some install pics tomorrow.
