Just wondering. Anyone have or seen a parts equivalence manual? If I choose to have a part replaced, it would be nice to see what International offers. On a few parts, the International equivalent is brass, instead of plastic.

Which parts will International provide as brass over Ford's plastic version?

I know one of the parts is on the fuel/water separator. The Ford unit uses a plastic plug and the International unit is a brass replacement.

Another piece that a friend found out about the hard way is on the oil (hi-pressure?) side. Ford used a some part that is prone to failure, according to the mechanic she went to. The International part is a two piece machined steel so it doesn't leak.

I'm sure that there are others. The coolant that I've been hearing about. Ford uses a weaker version of the recommended International coolant.

Just little things that while they may not save money, will save trouble down the road.
