Racor is the OEM manufacture and they designed the housing (oil and filter) to accept their filters ONLY and safely. Others have tried to copy the filters and some do fit...but buyer beware!!!
You stated above that you paid $62.00 for the fuel filter kit... and I know for a fact that it is NOT OEM made (may look similar but not OEM). You can buy OEM fuel filters at any Int'l truck dealer/center and pay 1/2 that... and get OEM performance for less money... so why risk it.
My local dealer sells them for around $70.00/kit... so if your willing to spend that amount of money ($62.00)... spend a few more and know your getting OEM quality from Racor (The OEM designed of the fuel and oil filter housings).
You can order these fuel filters on line from distributors that ONLY sell OEM filters (someone here will post a link)... and they will be less than the $62.00 you spent.
Just want you to know that you have options that will cost you less and give you better quality.

Ford 6.0 Liter Turbo Diesel Motorcraft FD-4604 Fuel/Water Seperator Filters(FD4604): Pick Up & Excursion Notice the aquabloc membrane on the HFCM filter. If YOU want to take chances with water making it to your injectors, then good luck to ya. Me personally, I'll stick with the correct 3: Fuel, filters and fluids. EDIT: http://www.dieselfiltersonline.com/P...-Pff-4604.aspx Racor is @ $10 cheaper, only $35
