    I found out why the last couple of Cat kits I bought had them. They weren’t Platinum kits. My wrench bender gets some stuff out of Cat under military support and sustainability program numbers.

    So after more using $fit loaf oul because front housing leak i took it ti CIT in St Louis that did in frame 2 years ago. They said it needs front housing kit to replace all gaskets and thet kit disnt come with Platinum kit, like i knew so i was ok fak it, i need this oil leak fixed and not worry about it anymore. A few days later they send another email repair estimate. This tme they said it needs upper front housing it self. Boy if i find it is cracked while they were doing in frame 2 years ago when that mechanic was pulling head croiked anf it was stuck, ill go nuts. Ill make them pay for every fricking thing, even shop supply, or i burn place down and be behing bars for rest of my life. So if i dont post anymore, im overthere

    They want to replace whole housing because there ia snall gauge where front main seal goes. I show pics to Cat and even they said just sand it, press new seal and keep trucking. Im sure this seal was newer replaced and KW mechanic made those gauges while pulling old seal
