Coolant Filtering System Ordered
Well, after much consideration and feedback from the last post about what filtering system to go with https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...which-one.html , I decided to go with Dieselsite's coolant filtering system http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...WPROD&ProdID=8 . If I had the time, I would have liked to build my own like SpringerPop did but with everyday life, kids,work,ect, I figured I'd get this kit, everythings there. Thanks for all feedback and Pop for the do it yourself kit, much appreciated everyone
. Also, Roland, thanks for the kind offer on the Blue coolant hose, it should look great in there along with the blue AIH delete from Clay
. Also, Ryan (Strokersace), with the filter housing hitting the top of your hood a bit, I wonder if I could drill some holes on the bracket just below the ones that are already there, to lower it a bit, wonder how that would fit, i'll see when I install at the clearances. Pics and writeup when it comes...

you will be impressed. Bob's stuff is always top drawer. I've done several for myself and others and never had a fitment problem. I remember staring in amazment at all the sand that came out of my bottom hose the first time I changed coolants. the filter is a very good idea.

Thanks Barney, really looking foward to it, I always took care of my truck but after changing my thermostat and housing and looking at all the gunk, I'll feel better now. Pics of the thermo-housing change are in my gallery if anybody wanted to see the mess..

I would think probably 2-3 feet for your application, assuming that you will be putting it where it is designed to go. You could probably get by with 2, but you might get 3 just to have a little extra.

Hey Mike. You'll be happy with it I'm sure. You could modify the mount to sit down alittle more. I was going to this weekend and just didn't get around to it.
I did however, adjust my hood latch up just a little as well as adjust the height on the pass side bump stop and it seemed to help. Still a little off, but not near as bad!

Thanks fellas, Just talked to Roland and he's hooking me up with 4 foot just to be safe. If you all could throw a rep to Roland for the kind gesture, he's always here for us and a great fella indeed
