They make kits for the 7.3l and 6.4l also. I think it would be a good thing to run the filter setup for like 10k miles then remove it afterwards. Would be nice to get the crud out. I wouldn't want to leave a filter like that on long term. They say its not a restriction but thats BS it has to restrict coolant flow somewhat. It is a bypass filter though so it won't cutoff flow.

I had some of the same thoughts, dkf. I have seen gutted filters from the 6.0L & 6.4L owners, and judging by the sand & gunk in the filter, I would say that they have to be helping to some extent. But, I have never seen anything like this from the Triton modular side of the house.
Speaking of which, I have a Diesel Site 6.0L bypass filter kit sitting in the garage--from before my '06 F250 was stolen. Maybe I'll take a look through the kit & see how well it'd marry up to my '09 F350 w/V10.

I would be interested in if it will work or not. Like I said before I don't think a filter would be permantly needed. Maybe run it a little while to remove the junk and remove it. I recently drained a gallon of coolant out of the rad on my 74' and it looked like it still had a little sand in it. Had some aluminum in it for shure. That system has been flushed a few times over the years too.
