50 to 60 pounds at the head and 15 at the rad, what miraculous event, or device, could cause that pressure drop? surely not head loss/gain from the passing through the thermostat. I do thank those that have responded for being very civil in this debate , you are truly gentlemen!
Here is also another reason why... Would the filter have saved the bad pump? Maybe made it last longer, but it certainly would have kept all the junk from the bad pump from settling at various places in the block.

Why ? a coolant filter
I do not understand why a coolant filter is a good idea??? the whole premise seems silly. Who cares if there is a small amount of casting sand in a coolant system???? The only ware surfaces in the entire coolant system are the coolant pump bearings, coolant pump shaft seal, and coolant pump shaft. All this work to "protect??" (dose it protect???) a $50 pump, seems like a gigantic waste of time. There are hundreds of things you can do to "harden" these engines, this should never make the list in my opinion. Oil filter- no brainer. Coolant filter- good grief why?????????????

AH64ID,
After having some time to evaluate it, would you say it's worth the trouble to plumb it into the heater line, or is the location in the block sufficient?

I want to add a coolant filter to my truck for two reasons, one is to filter the coolant. The other reason I have a question about. If I'm thinking correctly, the coolant filter is in a bypass loop and will help with higher temps and higher coolant pressure in the back of the head for keeping #5 and #6 running cooler, right? So in other words i could spend about 60 bucks on a coolant bypass system (coolant filter) instead of 400 bucks for a fancy, shiny one on a truck that will probably never make over stock power.

There are coolant filters that are higher flow but it seems you pay by the GPM, as they are $$$.

So, if you were to have just an unrestricted loop from the head to the return hose on the heater core (no filter), would that be too free-flowing causing warm-up times to increase? It gets kind of cold here in Idaho sometimes in the winter and I like all the heat that I can get out of my vents.

It would probably increase the warm-up time a little.
I was able to keep the motor warm when I was in Grace in January during with temps in the -13 to 10* range for the Elk hunt, but that was with the winter front closed and fast idle/exhaust brake use when idling.
