That is real nasty! You will be pulling out more contaminantion for at least another 15 times of filter cleaning, our test truck looked like that. We are still finding stuff in the filter to this day.

Here are some pictures of the coolant filter, if you see in the pictures the top magnet has came unglued along with the top filter housing. This won't hurt anything will it, do I need to try and glue them back on? Anyways just wanted to put these pictures up.

You can use JB weld for the magnet. The coolant gets hot when plugged and can cause the glue to get undone. Do not glue the cover back on, its best to leave it apart makes cleaning more accessible. Once everything is installed back into the housing the metal spring clip will apply tension and keep everything together.

as far as i know, it can be used with a cooler but NOT the IPR gen 2 delete.

so if you have a stock oil cooler and you are using the coolant manifold and it becomes plugged will it cause any major problems? im a little confused on how this would still be a bypass filter in that configuration.
