6.0L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2003-Up Super Duties and Excursions. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
Please advise what brands of coolant filter systems are available. I know that International sells a waterpump with a filter built onto it for their trucks and as a replacement for our 6.0L motors.
Does anyone use one and do they work (any test results)?
Re: Coolant Filter System - Brands & Do They Work?
With all the talk about aftermarket air filters, oil filters.... I am surprised that no one has responded about my search for coolant filters (whether secondary or built-in)?
The coolant has no filtering system on it, yet there is casting sand and other particles floating around our motors. The over-the-road trucks have them and International makes a waterpump with a built in filter for their trucks, but Ford (I heard) chose not to include it (even though they added a secondary filter to the transmission).
Any help, advice, websites, or company names would be appreciated regarding this topic.
Re: Coolant Filter System - Brands & Do They Work?
Yes!! I have had the system on my truck for over two years and you would be suprised at the sand in the filters. I cut the first two open and was amazed. I have a new 05 coming and one of my first mods will be the coolant filter.
Thanks,
Marc

Re: Coolant Filter System - Brands & Do They Work?
Just put one on my truck a couple of weeks ago - from the Dieselsite - great kit and working well so far. I'll also cut into the first couple to see how much is in there.
