I put this filter behind the front bumper on the driver's side. I used a Baldwin B-5000 filter base and Baldwin coolant filter without "SCA" chemicals. I know, the filter shown is a Fleetguard, and it's also a good filter. The mounting plate is a "foundation plate", found in the Simpson Strongtie section at Home Depot. I enlarged one hole, and drilled another, to mount it on the bumper mounting bolts. I also drilled the three holes to mount the filter base. A couple of large metric nuts and some LocTite secure the plate up behind the left side of the front bumper, and the appropriate grade-8 hardware secure the filter base. You can figure out the hose routing. I used 1/2" hose, properly rated for coolant, but 3/8 would work just as well, and might be easier to find the fittings and route the hoses. I got the barbed brass fittings at Home Depot. Clamp all the hoses using the small fuel-line-size stainless screw-clamps. The filter should get changed initially at about 5000 miles, then every 15-20,000, or when it no longer gets warm while driving.

I used the International's water pump housing's plugged hole to tap into the pressure side of the pump. Note the use of that plastic wire-loom stuff, that Ford uses on everything, added around the hoses for additional abrasion-resistance. Double-clamp the hoses.

Here's how the other side of the filter returns coolant back to the system, by "T-ing" it into the line into the plastic "de-gas bottle", (the tank with the radiator pressure cap).
