Coolant filter TRUE BELIEVER
2004 SD 6.0.
Installed a Dieselsite coolant filter back a few months ago. Well 2K miles later (last night) I removed the first filter. I slowly dumped it into a tin and coffee filter. I could not believe the sh## that was in it. Sand, chips of scale, bug wings, YES BUG WINGS! After seeing this I am a true beliver in the coolant filters on these machines. Sorry no pictures.....Not an advertisment for my filter choice, but I highly recomend installing one if you have not already. I had 100k in my truck when I installed it following a complete coolant flush and change.

I did this on mine about 2K ago and was going to wait until I had about 5K on it before the change. I may have to rethink that...
I ordered the ball valves and 3 filters when I bought mine.
