Usage:
Problem:
The 9Y3592 Front Gear Housing has been redesigned, but the part number has not changed. The new design eliminates the need for the 1011286 Camshaft Gasket Retention Plate. This was accomplished by adding material to the camshaft bore area in the housing. The additional material in this area interferes with the isolated camshaft drive bolts in the 3176 (2YG) Truck Engines. If the front gear housing on a 3176 (2YG) Truck Engine must be replaced, the redesigned 9Y3592 Front Gear Housing must be modified before it is installed.
Solution:
The redesigned 9Y3592 Front Gear Housing will fit on 3176 (7LG) Truck Engines without modification. The redesigned 9Y3592 Front Gear Housing must be modified (material removed) as shown in the illustration before it can be installed on 3176 (2YG) Truck Engines.
