Coolant filter?

[King0581]

Was doing some searching for the 203 thermostat and found this. Just wanted to get some opinions on it.http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8

It works good & worth the money.

I put one just after 1st water pump went out. The second water pump has been going good for well over 150K now.

Open up that first coolant filter after you replace it and you'll be amazed how much crud comes out of it.

Thanks.

One of the best long term Maintenence type Mods for ANY vehicle... IMO.

I even installed one on our 99 WindStar.

We also have the Dieselsite coolant filter kit on the 02,it's affordable insurance and looks good installed

A great item for sure.
No wonder my water pump has lasted so long.

a great way to keep the sca's up to level woul be to use a PENRAY NEED RELEASE FILTER with this kit. i will be doing this very soon on my truck.

If you haven't done this already I suggest replacing/upgrading your upper radiator to the one that routes on the outside of the serpentine belt to the thermostat that way in the future if you had a serpentine belt fail you won't have to remove the upper radiator hose on the spot and lose coolant in the process.

The upper radiator hose is the "dual alternator type" which costs about $10 plus a pair of new worm gear clamps.

Here's a Thread Link with the part numbers listed.

Thanks man! Already one step ahead though. I was already planning on that but the link with the part numbers really helped out!
