Clean Up Coolant With Filter
You can keep your diesel engine coolant clean with a new filtration system from Sinister Diesel. It filters out casting sand, metal shavings, rust and mineral deposits that are even found in new engines. On high mileage and older trucks, filtration removes scale deposits and sludge. Old or new, contaminants can cause seals, gaskets, hoses or even the radiator to fail early.
“We have kits for Ford, GM and Dodge diesels, about 10 models in all, and are adding kits for new models every couple months,” says Andrew Sokol, Sinister Diesel. “We also have a universal kit for diesel cars and diesel engines on trucks like the Kodiak, anything with a coolant system. You can pick different hardware options and hose lengths depending on mounting location.”
The easy-to-install kit requires a handful of common tools and a couple of hours in the driveway, according to Sokol. An enclosed bracket mounts to factory holes, eliminating the need for drilling. The CNC-machined aluminum filter attaches to the bracket. It includes 2 threaded inlet ports and 1 outlet port. A CAT coolant filter screws into the boss and is easily unscrewed for replacement. Silicone hoses and fittings are pre-assembled for easy connection.
When installed, the Sinister coolant filtration system is designed to bypass and filter small amounts of coolant while the engine is running. The contaminants filtered out can clog the EGR cooler or cause premature wear of water pumps and coolant seals.
Sokol recommends a series of filter replacements following the first install, beginning with 500 miles after the initial filter is put in place. A second and third replacement is advised after 3,000-mile segments, and then replacements should be made annually.
“The first filter picks up the bulk of the contaminants,” says Sokol. “Each filter after that traps less.”
There’s a lifetime warranty on all components other than the replaceable filter. “We manufacture in-house,” he says. “We have guys machining the blocks and laser cutting. We even hand package. You can find imitations on eBay, and you may save a couple bucks, but they are likely cast design with generic hoses that will have to be replaced.”
The coolant filtration kits vary by make and model. A kit for a Ford Powerstroke 1999 to 2003 7.3L on sale on the company website is priced at $164 with a CAT filter. A kit with a CAT filter for a 2003 to 2007 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L engine, also on sale, is priced at $183. Meanwhile, the sale price of the universal application kit is $158. Replacement CAT coolant filters are priced at $37 on sale.
