Saw three trucks this month with the same coolant filter mistake

Guys, stop using the Fleetguard WF2071 on your 6.7 Powerstrokes if you have the updated factory filter head. The bypass pressure is wrong and it can starve the EGR cooler. I learned this after a truck in our shop in Boise blew a head gasket from overheating. Anyone else run into this specific filter issue?

Classic. People will save three bucks and cook a ten grand engine. Makes perfect sense.

I used to cut corners too, but seeing a friend's engine blow up really changed my mind.

Sometimes you just get a bad part, @claire_fisher41, it's not always about cutting corners.
