A New Type of Main Bearing Is Now Used {1202, 1203}
- On-Highway Engine:
- 3406 (S/N: 4CK1-UP; 5KJ1-UP; 92U1-UP)
- 3406B (S/N: 3ZJ1-UP; 7FB1-UP; 8TC1-UP; 5YG1-UP; 2EK1-UP)
- 3406C (S/N: 8PN1-UP)
- 3406E (S/N: 1MM1-UP; 5EK1-UP; 2WS1-UP; 5DS1-UP; 6TS1-UP; 1LW1-UP)
- 3408 (S/N: 28V1-4749)
- 3408B (S/N: 4MG1-UP; 28V4750-UP)
- C-15 (S/N: MBN1-UP; EGH1-UP; 6NZ1-UP)
- C-16 (S/N: 7CZ1-UP; W1A1-UP)
- C18 (S/N: MDP1-UP; MEP1-UP)
- C-18 (S/N: CJP1-UP)
The 211-0592 Main Bearing and the 217-0390 Main Bearing is cancelled for the On-Highway Engines. Do not use the 211-0592 Main Bearing or the 217-0390 Main Bearing. Use the 317-8766 Main Bearing for a replacement of the 211-0592 Main Bearing. Use the 321-5746 Main Bearing for a replacement of the 217-0390 Main Bearing. This is effective for all of the above On-Highway Engines.
The material for the main bearing has changed. The new 317-8766 Main Bearing has a overlay for the upper and lower shells. The new 321-5746 Main Bearing is a bimetal bearing with an aluminum alloy and a steel backed construction.
Refer to Table 1 for the correct main bearing kit for your engine.
