Sinister Diesel's Blog

When it comes to maintaining your 6.0L Ford Powerstroke, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your engine is paramount. One critical aspect often overlooked is the cleanliness of your coolant. Even if your Powerstroke engine is brand new, it likely contains contaminants like casting sand, metal shavings, rust, and mineral deposits. These impurities can significantly reduce the cooling system's effectiveness and cause severe damage over time. Enter the Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter Kit – the ultimate solution to protect and extend the life of your engine components. Over the last decade, we have had plenty of time to perfect our kit. Our kits are built and assembled in Roseville CA, using our own CNC machines. 

Feature and Benefits of the Sinister Diesel Coolant Filtration System

• CNC Machined Filter Block: The heart of the Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter Kit is its new and improved filter block, precision CNC machined from solid billet 6061 aluminum. This ensures exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear.
• High-Strength Silicone Hoses: The kit includes abrasion-resistant silicone hoses with a molded T, designed to minimize potential points of failure. These hoses are factory tested at twice the recommended radiator cap pressure, ensuring leak-proof connections and optimal performance.
• Extends Component Life: By filtering out harmful contaminants, this coolant filter kit significantly extends the life of your water pump, oil cooler, and EGR cooler. This preventive measure can save you from costly repairs and downtime.
• Maintains Optimal Coolant Flow: The Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter Kit operates as a bypass filtration system, maintaining optimal coolant flow while removing debris from the coolant.

Full Flow vs Bypass Systems for Coolant Filtration

For years we have considered creating a full flow system but we have always concluded that a bypass system is a better and easier worry-free long-term investment. Although a full-flow system obviously filters more, it requires truck owners to be more vigilant on making sure they change the filter. Depending on the filter location, a clogged filter can significantly slow down coolant flow on a full-flow system which can lead to major heat issues if left unchecked. We have always found that a bypass system gets the job done in a much safer way, specially for trucks where it has been installed for a long time and coolant is constantly being filtered through the bypass system. In a bypass system, if the filter gets clogged, you simply stop benefiting from the filtration. 

Why do you need a coolant filtration kit on your 6.0 Powerstroke?

From the factory, many engine blocks retain sand from the casting process. If left unfiltered, this sand can clog your EGR coolers or cause premature wear on your water pumps and coolant seals. The Sinister Diesel Coolant Filtration System is an affordable insurance policy against such failures. It helps you avoid costly repairs by keeping your coolant system clean and efficient.

Investing in the Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter Kit for your 6.0 Powerstroke is a wise decision. It not only enhances the performance and longevity of your engine but also provides peace of mind knowing that your engine is protected from harmful contaminants. With its robust construction, easy installation, and proven effectiveness, this kit is the best choice for maintaining your Powerstroke's cooling system.
