A short time after I bought my truck, the water pump let go. I proceeded to install a new one and made the very rookie mistake of refilling with green coolant. This was 20 years ago btw and then, my truck was the newest thing I have ever owned. Ever since, I've flushed my cooling system every year in the spring but I always had nasty looking "sludge" on my radiator cap when I took it off. So last year, I installed a new AC Delco heater core and also installed a coolant filter because the flushes I was doing didn't seem to last long and I didn't want my new heater core clogged up. The first filter lasted a week. The second filter lasted about a month and now I'm going on 4 months I think with the current filter?? Anyway, this thing works great and my coolant looks fresh out of the jug. The downside is the filters are about $9 on Rockauto but I hope to get to the point to a change every six months. The mounting is not the best and I may fab up some sort of bracket but its good for now. I think I have about $75 in everything and to me, it was well work it! Thanks, Wes!
