PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The existing 255-5544 Tube used in 179-9333 and 185-5775 Aftercooler Groups can fail on certain C280-12, and C280-16 Petroleum Engines. If the existing water lines are not updated, a leak may result.
In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 28% 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.
