I'm all aquiver....

I'm installing the coolant filter, because I just had the coolers replaced, just as my warranty is expiring. I cannot say I am a big believer, or that I really even want the danged thing, but I figured there wasn't ever going to be a better time than now to do it.

Bill,

I've had mine for three or four years, and it still catches precipitate.

Of course, if I didn't persist in using green coolant and adding my own SCA's, I probably wouldn't have that problem, but it's cheap insurance just the same.

But I LIKE filtration! See: SpringerPop's F-350 :-))

Everything but the battery electrolyte, transfer case, differentials, and brake fluid.

I'll bet you're working on those, too.

I know it can't do any harm, and it is cheap enough insurance.

I had to add transfer case and differentials to that list, as there's no real practical way to filter them without adding pumps, too. Ainna' gonna' do that...
