PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The existing 258-0817 Elbows can bulge or split on certain 777F Off-Highway Trucks. If an elbow splits it can cause a loss of power and/or high exhaust temperatures.
In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 15% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer.
