Coolant filter
Once you get into the 6-7 Gal of coolant, it pays to use a filter and SCA's over flush and replace.
Also a filter cleans continuous, and flushing does not. I draw off the block drain, and return to the lower hose connection for the heater. A wye was added to the heater return and shut off valves on the filter head.
In the past, I have added filters to trucks that didn't have them, and they would plug in the first service cycle. Once you make it past the plugging, they just require filter changes at oil change time. SCA's can be added by the filter (you can get filters pre-loaded with SCA 's) or in liquid form.
Open an engine that has a filter and been serviced at regular intervals, and you can eat off the block passages.
So far the fuel check is working well.
