Got my truck with about 98000 on it and when I checked the SCA at about 112000 it was 0. Cant tell you if any damange has been done but it runs great and I did not find any floaters in the coolant and the cores in the radiator looked clean. From what I heard the IDI motors had more of a problem with pitting around the cylinders.

The PSD doesn't suffer as back from cavitation but it does happen. Mainly to the timing cover more than the cylinders. Just add the additive. there it nothing you can do about it now.

The IDI was a lot more prone to cavitation than the powerstroke.

I got my filter from dieselmann's www.intellidog.com/dieselmann/filter.htm

Part # FEK200P/S $125.00 That included hoses, "T's" clamps, directions etc.

The hoses look as if they are hydrolic lines, may be over kill but they are nice.

TJ has a pix of my set up under Shroud Mod.

I'm not sure but I think that TJ told me that he got his from Napa. I'm sure that he will jump in soon.

Hope this helps,
rog

Yep got mine from Napa. Its universal and I needed other fittings for plumbing it up. But the base is decent. I think its $20-30 bucks. Not sure what the part number was but its in the back of their filter book.
