I install a dieselite coolant filter and was just curious how to check for proper flow. When i look into degas tank i can only see a small dribble.

I won't flow alot, it's just filtering a small amount at a time. I just make sure my bypass filter hoses get hot when it's running, that means I have flow.

Same here. Just grab the hose after the filter when the truck is up to temp and that will be your answer.
