Show pics of your IPR Coolant Filter junk

Let's send in your photos of the junk that the IPR High Flow Coolant Filter caught.

Please state:
1. Year of and mileage of your truck
2. If you flushed previously with any kind of chemicals such as restore, VC9 etc.
3. How many miles you've driven with IPR High Flow Coolant Filter.

1. 2004; 95k miles.
2. No chemical flush by me - allegedly flushed by dealer when both coolers were replaced after I bought it, protocol unknown but probably VC-9 as per .
3. 500 miles.

Plugged solid. I threw it in an ultrasonic cleaner before remembering this thread and grabbed a picture; yes that water was clear 5 minutes before. Probably about 30cc of this. Juzatheman and several others have reported the same goo.

This was after initial filter change. 500 miles or so.

Pretty good results, L&B's photo's looks very bad. Let's see what it looks like the next 500 miles?

Second 500 miles, as you requested. Dramatic improvement, only a few small pockets in the bottom corners of the pleats, which *could* have been left over from the last time. Unless my heater stops working, I'll probably leave it for 1000 miles or more before disturbing it again.

As I mentioned in another thread (Coolant filter/flush) the goo that I collected from the first filter cleaning is resistant to most chemicals including hydroxide and phosphoric acid at higher concentrations than they come in the bottles from Fleetguard - over a three day run in glass. For this particular material (and different systems may sprout different contaminants) the most effective means of removal is physical: drain, flush, filter. I'm absolutely delighted with the performance of this filter!

That's awesome man.

After 800 miles this is what the paper towel looked like after cleaning it.

Looks like your filter is proving itself out as should be expected Vince. Congrats. M may just buy one just to keep the system clean even though I have a BPD cooler and am not worried about clogging my oil cooler.

I should re-write how to flush a 6.0.
How about this? Don't waste time flushing, draining, filling and doing it over and over again. Install IPR HIgh flow coolant filter and let the filter do the cleaning, no flushing required. Just drive!

I had several customer told me they had done a flush a few thousand miles before installing my kit. After installing my kit they were surprise to see quite a bit of junk in the coolant still.

I've cleaned out my filter over 12 times and the filter still seems to get plugged up to where my delta's are going up.

Yes, it does help to have a IPR High Flow Coolant Filter installed in your 6.0 to just keep the coolant cleaned to avoid damage to your heater cores, water pumps and radiators etc.
