    This bracket is constructed from 1/8" steel and is powder coated for additional protection against damage from road debris. We overbuilt this unit to ensure longevity and optimal resistance against potential damage.

    Check out the hardware we will be using to attach our housing to the bracket. This hardware is also powder coated to prevent corrosion.

    We mentioned in our 6.0L coolant filtration thread that we would be tackling the 6.4L as well. Let's take a look at some of the components our team has been putting together for the 6.4L kit.

    Although the 6.4L does not seem to be as susceptible to buildups as is the 6.0L, a coolant filtration setup is certainly still a worthy investment in preventive maintenance.

    So let's get started!

    Filter Housing

    We'll start with the filter housing. As mentioned in our 6.0L thread, we developed a housing with a wide range of adjustability that could be utilized for a variety of kits. This housing is shown below.
