Radiator/coolant flush
Doing my 60k mile service and i got some pictures of sediment picked up by my coolant bypass filter...WOW! No wonder why water pumps don't seem to last.
BTW, the filter was on for approx. 6k miles!

My truck has slightly over 100k and I put a water pump on around 75k I think and the mechanic tells me it is leaking again around the pump so I will need another one at some point in the future.

My 1st WP lasted 50K w/o a coolant filter. I installed the filter when I put a new pump on 6 months ago. Changed the coolant filter yesterday when I changed the Fuel Filter & did an oil chnage.
Glad I haven't thrown my coolant filter away yet. I'm anxious to cut mine open after seeing that pic. I'll let you know what I find. Running a NAPA 4070 filter this time instead of the baldwin I had before.
