Holy dirt in coolant filter!

[Jeeperman]

I just cut open a coolant filter after 15k miles and had over 1/4 cup of casting sand and junk in it! I changed my first one at 10k of usage and it had nearly the same amount! I can email pics to anyone who wants to post them for me. I can post them from my phone.

Are you monitoring deltas? What kind of coolant filter are you running?

I run the filter from diesel site.com I have the edge CTS and my monitor my deltas. I was seeing 10-15 unloaded and 30+ towing. I just replaced oil cooler and installed a bulletproof EGR cooler last week. The filters are the Baldwin ones. I ditched the gold for cat ELC this time.

damn! glad im running my coolant filter too.. i run the napa 4070 filter. First time i didn't get much for casting sand though.. prolly because i did the flush shortly before it

I'm waiting on my coolant filter, been on backorder for a month, supposed to ship monday. I've got 24° delta after a serious tap water and distilled flush. Refilled with elc.

So you got that amount of crap in your filter before or after you switched to ELC?

[Jeeperman]

I switched to ELC the same time I changed the filter. ELC never ran through this filter

I did a compleat and thurow flush less than a year ago also changing out my oil cooler but I changed my coolant filter out today and holly sh1t was there a lot of crap in there.
