Cummins has a cool site with a lot of information for downloading: http://www.cumminsfiltration.com/en/pro ... ml#cooling

One item of interest is Coolant Filters: http://www.cumminsfiltration.com/pdfs/p ... _TB797.pdf

I remember seeing pits in wet sleeve liners back in the mid 70's that totally trashed out the cylinders and pistons. When I joined IH in 1980 they had Coolant Filters/Conditioners and the thought crossed my mind to have a way for my VM to last a long time and a million miles does not sound so bad. Monitoring the coolant and keeping the chemistry OK along with a way to keep the crud out with a filter sounds like a good idea. The only problem is the Filter/Conditioners are for larger 9.0L engines running almost all the time and may be too much of a good thing for a 2.8L. Therefore having just the filter and correcting the chemistry may be the smartest option.
Where to mount is the objective.

Coolant filter on my semi is not much larger than the CRD oil filter. Just like with most mods for the CRD Liberty, space is a premium.

Cowpie: There is some space between the coolant reservoir and the air cleaner. Plumbing the water filter into the small return line may be the easiest way to make the instillation.
