I'll leave the rebuilding to the folks who do those things. I do have the
Series 92 Service Manual that according to its abstract covers servicing
on-highway, industrial, generator set and marine applications of the Series 92.
It is a three volume set. For info you might check out

Nick Stanko in Austin re-built his 6V92 and his Perkins in his 83
PT40. Said the parts cost him more to re-build the Perkins than the
DD! Nick is a member of the forum and his email is
njstanko@... if you want to contact him offline.

Joe, I have the shop manual for the V92 engines on CD. They are on eBay
for $15-20. Parts manual is a different story. I have a set & they
cost me $160.00 used.

Yes, I believe that it does. I also have the complete Jacobs Brake
service manual for my "Retarder". I don't have the Detroit Jacobs
"Exhaust" Brake, just the electric retarder. Had the chance to buy the
engine exhaust brake a while back & passed. The electric model serves
me well. What is it you need Ernie?

My Jake brake and high idle is inoperative. This happened after the shop
replaced that leaky gasket on my way to Montana last year. makes going down some
of these "hills" interwesting. I've learned how to make do without, but would
like to have them both working, again. Thanks

If you get a chance, or I can come by your house. At least I can see in print
what the heck I'm supposed to be looking for. Thanks

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.
