Product Description
DUAL SYSTEM MOUNTING BRACKET INCLUDED!
DIESELSITE'S 6.5L Coolant Filter Kit can be used as a stand alone system or in conjunction with our
Remote Fuel Filter Kit. The mounting bracket supplied will allow you to install both systems side by side in the same location.
If you already have the bracket from your RFFK purchase, choose the option with no bracket in the drop-down selection. Please note that a mounting bracket is required to use this kit following our instructions.
The DIESELSITE Coolant Filter Install Kit includes all
fittings, hose and stainless steel clamps needed for installation.
ABOUT COOLANT FILTRATION:
Coolant filters are not a new idea to the diesel engine
world. They come in most OEM applications for medium duty and OTR tractor
trailer rigs. The idea was somehow tossed aside for light duty applications,
most likely due to cost. For our light duty trucks it is a very
important issue that needed to be addressed. Many diesel engines are cast with sand in the process. This sand is
NOT completely removed from the system and much of this sand leaches
out of the casting over time. This sand wears away at water pump seals, hoses
and radiators. Removal of this sand can greatly increase your water pump life.
In addition to sand, there are other things that the filter
is removing. SCAs, or supplemental coolant additives used in
protecting against cavitation, often flake off the walls. This
"precipitate" is a very abrasive particle, like a scale floating around
freely in the system unless caught by a filter.
The DIESELSITE Coolant Filter Install Kit will remove the
loose particles in your cooling system and give your water pumps, radiators, and radiator hoses the protection they need from these
abrasive materials. Wear is virtually eliminated by the removal of
undesirable elements in your system. The desirable elements like the
actual chemical used in the SCA are not removed.
HOW DOES IT WORK?:
The DIESELSITE Coolant Filter Kit is a bypass-style system
that filters a small amount of the coolant on each pass. By using a spin
on filter we make it easy for you to change your coolant filter at regular
intervals. These filters will remove all solid particles -- new or
old. It is never too late to install a coolant filter in order to extend
the longevity of your cooling system components. While you cannot reverse
the damage that is already done, you can eliminate further damage from occurring.
This kit is a must have improvement to every truck.
In the past few decades of doing business, we've seen a
pattern of water pump failure. If you are one of the unlucky owners who
have lost your pump between 40,000 and 80,000 miles it's not too late to
protect your new pump. While some damage to your pump may already be
done, a coolant filter install kit will extend the longevity of your pump
before it fails, and ensures that your next water pump will last much longer
than your first one did.
FILTER CHANGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Use one filter every three months for the first nine months after installation. The lack of flow into the expansion tank is an indication that your filter is plugged. Change the filter if it plugs up before the 3 month interval. After the 4th filter is installed, your filter should need changed only once per year.
