I don't know where you get your info but all the Detroit site says in 2002 there was a compact gear train released but it is IDENTICAL to the old...
This should help you out! http://www.ddcsn.com/cps/rde/xbcr/ddcsn/13-60-02a.pdf
If you read the post I got from Detroit, you will notice that the engines with the compact gear train have the top cover of the cam gear, cam gear...
Oh yeah Freightlinerbob......Catmechanic is not a handle......its a screen name! Further more, I chose that just because. I work on anything and...
You will know by knowing if you have a 12.7 or 14L. 14L has compact!

I know all the older 12.7's and 11L's have the roller bearings. The new 14L's may have a new style gear train but Ive yet to be in the front of...
LOL....I worked on Mercedes for 3 years! I was never so glad to get away from them. Head gaskets on them are a daily failure. Look up the stats on...

You will need a new wiring harness, ECM, and a reprogram as far as I know. New harness will be fun because you WILL have to move pins around for...

If there Is no movement, you could have a bad valve but you can also have a seized "S" cam. The S cams that don't grease are great for doing this....
FYI.....a bull gear failure doesn't mean automatic overhaul. Usually the larger gear gets teeth broke off first and it eats that, crank, and acc...
