I never even heard about those for any vehicle, why would you need one?

They are a screw on filter that looks like an oil filter.
Used mostly in Ag and Industrial apps.
They are sampling type filter, usually in a coolant line to an oil cooler.
Some have a tablet that dissolves slowly, over time, to put a neutralizer in the coolant as well as a filter to remove sediment and other heavy particles.
Don't know where you would install one on a Jeep cooling system. Maybe to heater hose fittings, if you have them.
Definitely would not want one in a radiator hose. Too much restriction to natural flow in that location.
