Yes, i have that too. The install is really easy. If you drain the radiator down below the water pump access port, (3-4 gallons), then you won't have any mess at all. Then just pour that back into the recovery tank and you're good to go. It's about time i replace my filter, it's been on there for a while.

Dieselsite coolant filter here too. I'm quite pleased with it. Install was easy and it seems to work. Like Alan, I was suprised how much crud the first filter pulled out. I also like that the filter base has some extra ports on it, like for use with a coolant temp sensor if you wanted to add an external gauge.

Dieselsite's coolant filter is only $79. It's a good deal in my book, the mounting bracket makes for a solid & clean setup. (http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...PROD&ProdID=8)

You might want to get the optional shut-off valves. Makes changing filters easy...

Outlet of the filter tee's into the hose that goes into the driver's side of the degas bottle.
