rebuilt own 6V92

[worktohobby]

Hello,

I picked up the shop manual(s), and then the parts manual on eBay.
Total was under $100 w/shipping. At some point the shop manual was
broken into two separate volumes in three ring binders. The older
single volume service manuals are fairly cheap. You should try to get
a manual with a printing date of near or after your engine
manufacture date. Your local DD dealer can point out part numbers
that have changed due to improvements (or at least give you a heads
up so you don't buy an obsolete part—especially if you have an older
manual).

There are CD's out there that have the military version of the
service manual. If you like cartoons and few words, they might work
for you. They do show different views than the printed manual for
just about everything, and simplify maintenance to some extent. You
could get by w/o this, but not the printed service manual if you
actually need to do the work.

I don't know if I'd want to tackle an in frame rebuild w/o out the
help or guidance of an experienced diesel mechanic. You will be
digging in pretty deep. Parts are fairly inexpensive.
