For 7.3's, it's a definite "must do" when changing the water pump.

It's a definite "should do" if you're water pump is still good.

"This photo shows the accumulation of sand and sediment that was circulating through the system of a 7.3L Powerstroke (yes -- it was destroying his water pump)! This filter was in service for only three months - AFTER a full coolant change."

I have 7.3 PSD, 2002 Ford Excursion, it's my baby. I have everything that Banks sells for the 7.3 PSD, but I am looking to do more tweaking. I will order the coolant filter from dieselsite today

Who makes the 6637 air filter? I have a S & B air box currently which seems to have a K & N filter of some sort.

The 6637 is the PN from Napa. Basically it is a DIY Tymar intake.

All you need is the filter and a short piece of 4" pipe.
