Blue Spring Done - Why did I wait?
Been reading about the Blue Spring upgrade since the day I bought my truck.
Had the parts/pieces to complete the upgrade for 6 months...but I'm lazy.
Yesterday I saw my fuel psi drop <50 psi several times. So I figured I'd finally do the install. Can't believe I've been putting off that 30 minute easy install
This totally should have been the very 1st upgrade I did. If you are still on the fence, DO IT! Truck is more responsive, and maybe it's just the butt dyno, but she seems to pull alot harder. I'd try a burnout test, but I got popped for a $250 ticket Friday for doing a burnout
...so trying to be a good boy for awhile
oh yeah, is it weird to have parts left over? Had 2 o-rings and a plastic casing left. I re-used the original cover and replaced the o-rings as applicable. Didn't see the point of using brand new cover and risk the fitting leaking

There are 2 of them.
1 is just the spring itself (cheap, $30 or so). It seems to be on National back order, and International quit carrying it
Or
You can get the Cover and spring kit. I think I paid $65 for mine. Comes with all new orings and cover.
About to walk into work. I'll take a picture of the packaging later when I get home. Search in this section and there are tons of posts with both #'s though

That is what I have been saying as well. I've got the banjo bolts and washers sitting on the shelf. It should be easy with the stator for the fan gone. All kinds of room in there now.
