Rear crank shaft seal

[Doe69936]

Any one know where I can find a seal for an 8.3 cummins apparently the auto parts can't find any for a kassett seal# 4090833 and I'm stuck till I can replace it

Looks like there a few online. Any truck service center should be able to get one fairly fast. Best to give them the engine serial # to make sure to get the right part.

Have you tried NAPA ?

 

[Doe69936]

Wish I had a hunnings near me I'm off to check a Napa that's open Sunday says he could not find any thing but to bring the seal for measurement if not I'm probably going to have to find a frightliner dealer

the normal city napas dont have a clue about medium duty and up stuff?
the rural area napa does.
ask them to get off there computer and pull there oldschool book out that they dont know how to use if they can even find it for national and or MooG seals and match your own up.

You're not dealing with a one-off Unobtanium part here, it's a fairly common engine. You need a NAPA *Truck* parts shop (it's sort of a separate division of NAPA with different parts catalogs and inventories) though they have access to the same parts warehouses. Either that or the salesperson needs to look up the correct chassis/engine year and model.



In my town, the NAPA shop does in fact stock auto and truck parts but in the next town over, it's 2 separate buildings, operated more-or-less independently (but I wouldn't be surprised if they are owned by the same folks).

Yeah the parts counter folks ain't what they used to be but there is a Napa truck center that I can check tommorow

Army/ Air Corp as in WW 2 ?

 

[Doe69936]

No he did 4 years army and 6 years airforce

OK, Thanks. WW 2 it was the Army Air Corp. Air Force became a service after the war. Just curious, my Pops was Army Air Corp.

 

[Doe69936]

He was definitely not old enough for ww2 he was end of nam

So I got. The seal from frightliner who used the engine serial# and it turns out the seal number on mine was an outdated number probably why no one could find it

 

[cadillackid]

that happens a lot.. part numbers get updated.. oir the OEM puts their own number on it.. ie international puts their own part numbers on common things such as bendix air compressors. . the IH number comes back hard to get.. the Bendix number shows it everywhere.,



for future reference.. NAPA. locations located near warehouses and trucking depot's often carry many MD parts.. the NAPA in columbus ohio on feddern ava is one such store.. I buy bus parts there all the time. .. they can also look them up and have them senbt to other stores.. so if you find a store you like and are halfway across the country ,they may be able to look up your part and tell you the NAPA store nearest to you who has it or where it can be shipped.. I have done that a couple times when ive been far away and had something break.
