I am bringing my sled into the dealer tomorrow and he says he hasn't seen any bulletins for torquing up the nut on the jack-shaft in the chaincase....anyone have any bulletin #'s or anything I can use to educate my dealer?

Are you going to Cooke? I can't remember.
If so call Bob and have him do the recall work when you get there.

Then why is it taking so long for Cat to get these kits to the dealers!! IMO, they should have sent kits out when they issued the letter. This is a huge issue (hoping this fixes it) and they have dropped the ball big time.

The kit consist of a 12 oz. bottle of oil and old AC part numbers. They are the 1" washers that were installed behind the secondary's of all the older cat's.

My understanding is the special socket (for torquing the nut) is the hold-up.

My dealer did mine a week ago with bench stock, and the socket is an old tool from the T660 which my dealer had. In and out in the same afternoon.
