PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The existing 330-4460 front housing, 384-0902 front housing, or the 484-3312 Front Housings can develop cracks on certain High Altitude Arrangement 797F Off-Highway Trucks. If the existing front housing cracks it may cause engine oil leaks or engine coolant leaks.
In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 23% 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.
ACTION REQUIRED
Show/hide table
Replace the 330-4460, 384-0902, or 484-3312 front housing at engine planned component rebuild or upon engine removal from chassis. Install a new 456-6342 Housing.
8 mm will need to be machined off of the bottom face of the 350-1255 Support in order to accommodate the new 456-6342 front housing. The support should be relabeled as part number 487-1749.
