Im looking at a coolant filter kit for my 6.0. Just wondering how effective these are and are they worth the money? Here is a link to the kit im looking at:
I know Adam from FCDP suggested one for me, especially when we found out my oil cooler plugged on the coolant side from the casting sand. I'm not sure what all his kit includes, didn't go into it, but Stroker since you bought his EGR delete, try him out for the coolant filter.
I'd be interested to see what you had to do to make it fit. I've got the banks technicooler I/C too and am hesitant to buy the coolant filter kit because I wasn't sure if I could fit it in there...
123rday68, If you guys want me to i will do my best to take pics for the coolant filter install. Im pretty sure the kit comes with full install instructions, but yea ill take some pics for you guys.

A coolant filter for the 6.0 is not only effective, it's essential to long term reliability of the 6.0 motor.
On another site, I have a thread about a friend of mine that had to spend $2200 to have his oil cooler. EGR cooler and degas bottle replaced due to a cracked EGR cooler caused by the oil cooler plugging up with coolant debris.
I don't think it can be said enough: If you own a 6.0 PSD engine, you need a coolant filter installed on it.
Make sure to watch for the filter plugging up around the first 500-1200 miles. When it does and you replace it, take pics of the cut open filter.
You fella's have to remember something...for me to pay $120.00 in US funds, and have it shipped up here to Canada, it would end up costing me well over $200.00
Here are some pix of what I did this afternoon.
Made a bracket, painted it and the filter mounting base...installed onto rad support...(Scratches were in the support from the intercooler install about 4 years ago.)
cjetcat- No the filter wont fit with the oil by-pass. I just put the by-pass on this afternoon and had to remove the coolant filter. I may just mount it on the frame close to the front bumper.
