How do you see the coolant returning from the filter? Maybe because I have a van, but the reservoir is nearly opaque.

I would assume the coolant hits the tee fitting and goes into the radiator to replace what was pulled from the heater connection. Is there some reason why it wouldn't?

BTW, It is a PITA to intall in a 6.0 van. No room under the hood to even see the heater connection and no room to route hoses, let alone mount the filter. My filter is behind the aftermarket bumper. Don't know where it would go if I had a stock bumper.
