Been reading the diesel forums about coolant filters. All members there seem to agree that the 6.0 Powerstrokes should have a coolant bypass filter to protect the water pump, EGR cooler and engine oil cooler from clogging up with casting sand and silica build up from the coolant.
Does anyone have experience with this and have an opinion as to whether or not this is worth doing? My 2003 6.0 Diesel Excursion has 130,000 miles on it. No problems that I am aware of - but reading those threads has me concerned.
