Update, I've not had any issues with the filter setup. The only thing I notice is at idle the is a slight decrease in heat output because of the filter flow restriction, but it's minimal. At cruise it's plenty heat. I've probably driven 3K miles and I've got solid heat. It's been cold too so...
First off let me say I believe OAT coolant is absolute garbage compared to other coolant technologies. POAT for instance is superior, but you can't mix coolant technologies or you're gonna have big problems. We have a 2016 4Runner and it has only had one coolant change at about 150K and the...
Flushed it after the first filter. Already had the stuff. Just installed the filter first as a trial. I’ve driven it twice since the coolant flush and heat is good. OAT coolant is junk. We have a 4Runner with POAT with 200K miles and the coolant tank looks new, zero crud. The coolant has...
Trial and error, this filter probably isn’t the best option for the way I have this setup. I don’t believe it has enough flow for a heater core setup. It’s designed more as a tap filter with a low flow rate, hence 27 micron. I’m not even sure 50 micron would be open enough. Actually I stand...
Here’s the filter cut open and pressed on fresh paper towels. 27 micron might be a bit much. Very fine rust like stuff. I think there are 50 micron ones available. I only ran the filter about 60 miles.
I drained the coolant, flushed best I could and installed a new filter and Mopar coolant. Coolant shouldn’t look like this after 83K miles. Heat is back working. But I need to grab another filter, I’m sure it’s gonna stop up again. Might as well buy a case.
I started having this issue a few weeks ago on a 21 6.4, 83K miles. Coincidentally a coworker with an 18 6.4 started having the same issue before me. He flushed his heater core with some success but he hasn’t completely got it fixed. I went and bought a Lisle heater core flush tool that uses...
Got the tires installed today and put about 25 wet miles on them. It’s gonna take a bit for me to adjust to them visually coming from the Rugged Trek, especially white letters out (still not so sure about that decision ). My main reason for swapping to an AT from an RT was for improved ride...
Tires are in, hopefully I’ll get them on tomorrow. Might go old school white letters out. They look aggressive and I’m impressed. Especially next to my wore out Rugged Treks.
Just ordered some 295/70/17 Strongholds, coming from Cooper 285/70/17 Rugged Treks. I've gotten 51K out of the Rugged Trek and they have been probably the best AT/RT tire I've ever run. The weight between the two is the same of course the 295 minimally bigger. Will post once they are on and I...
Trying to get a real world answer on how much lift a stock PW has over a standard 4x4. Couldn't find anything via search and nowhere online can I find actual owner measurements on 4.5 gen trucks. Can someone with a completely stock 4.5 gen wagon measure from center hub and ground to top of...
