Termination Date

September 30, 1992

Problem

The 9Y0199 Connecting Rod Bearing, used in certain 3176 Truck Engines, has been canceled and replaced by a new 4P8167 Connecting Rod Bearing. The new bearings are made of a higher fatigue strength aluminum alloy.

Affected Product
Model & Identification Number

3176 (2YG1-UP; 7LG1-1111)

NOTE: This Program does not apply if the cylinder block is stamped with rework code 1U or 3U near the serial number plate or if SIMS indicates that new connecting rod bearings have already been installed. (Rework "Code N" on SIMS)

Parts Needed

4P2232 Rod Assembly-Connecting (Use As Required)
6 - 4P8167 Bearing-Connecting Rod
1 - 1R0716 Filter
1 - 617540 O-ring (Elbow)
Oil - 30 quarts

Action Required

Parts Stock

Remove all 9Y0199 Connecting Rod Bearings from parts stock.

Affected Product

1. Remove the oil pan and underframe.

2. Remove and install the connecting rod bearings. Apply a light film of clean engine oil on the crankshaft before installing the rod cap. Lubricate the bolt threads and seating faces of the bolt head with 6V4876 Molykote Paste Lubricant. Tighten each bolt to a torque of 130 ± 7 N·m (95 ± 5 lb ft). Put an alignment mark on each cap and nut and tighten an additional 60 ± 5 degrees (one sixth turn).

NOTE: Inspect the rod and cap for signs of fretting. Heavy fretting or signs of metal transfer is not acceptable and the rod must be replaced. However, staining or minor rust does not require rod replacement.

3. Repeat Step 2 on the remaining rods.

4. Install the underframe and oil pan. Reuse the existing 4P1497 Oil Pan Gasket unless it is cracked or damaged.

5. Stamp 1U near the Serial Number Plate on the cylinder block.
