Blue spring part #?

Does the blue spring upgrade come together with everything needed in one package? Or do i need to buy all the parts separate? Its probably been asked before but my search wasnt turning up anything.
Thanks

Do I need the cover? Or does the original cover work?

Usually the old cover is fine and can go right back on.

One question about the rail fuel filter on the link Racor PFF4616 Racor Fuel Filter / Water Separator 03-07 6.0L Power Stroke , does it have an O ring on the bottom of the filter, it does not show on the picture.
This one is a motorcraft: Ford 6.0 Liter Turbo Diesel Motorcraft FD-4616 Fuel/Water Seperator Filters(FD4616): Pick Up & Excursion-REPLACES MOTORCRAFT FD-4604-NEW UPDATED - Diesel Filters,Additives,brake rotors, and brake pads for Chevy, Dodge and Ford Diesel Trucks ?
I bought a Fleetguard filter and it did not have the same bottom end as the Motorcraft, but I mesured eveything and it fit exactly the same. The Fleeguard just has a coned plastic that fit in the bottom on the rail housing, the motorcraft has a longer plastic end piece with an O ring.

I just did a little search and this one: Motorcraft FD4616
Ford 6.0 Liter Turbo Diesel Motorcraft FD-4616 Fuel/Water Seperator Filters(FD4616): Pick Up & Excursion-REPLACES MOTORCRAFT FD-4604-NEW UPDATED - Diesel Filters,Additives,brake rotors, and brake pads for Chevy, Dodge and Ford Diesel Trucks

Replaces this one: 3C3Z9N184CA and others. Now I feel more relaxed because this old one is just like the one I put in mine, I was really not sure to install it because it has no Oring, now I see this was and older model.

You can see a good picture of the old one here, and the guy had a freeking good idea: Fuel Filter change on the 6.0 - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

Maybe this is one reason for a different price on the one without O ring, old stock?

Yes they are the same one is the old style but does your Fleeguard filter have the water membrane rapp to keep the water out.

Yes it did have the membrane, the only diffenrence was the O ring, and the big difference was the price. Here in Quebec, Perron Ford wants $104. for the kit, over a 100 for an Air filter, etc.

The max pressure is 70-75lbs mine runs 62-64lbs at idle and 58lbs at WOT, you will be fine plus your injectors will like you for it.
