Tousleys online, IH or Ford dealer. Most can get by with just the spring kit without the cover.

RiffRaff also sells a spring-only kit. I've done three, just did the spring/housing gasket on all of them, but the first time I got a full kit so I have a new cover and o-rings just in case. Plus the Riff Raff guy seems to be a stand-up businessman with good a good offering of OEM parts, I wish there were more like him and less bling-slingers out there.

Check to see if your local International Dealer sells Rotella T-6. The one where I live sells it for $15.50 a gallon!

What if it did???? It's 5W-40. Unless you are north of the Arctic circle, who cares? Actually better yet 5w-40. And if it's HOT.... the 6.0 loves 5w-40 too.

Thanks for the price info on the T-6
Also I got my kit from IH and the price was so much better then Ford and you most likely don't need the cover.
