  • Reinstalling accessory drive and power steering pu

    Posted by George on May 6, 2020 at 5:50 pm

    Gmjdw Any advice on reinstalling accessory drive and power steering

    the accessory drive o-ring had a red coloring and there was a red tinge on block where the o-ring was located. Thinking loctite.

    Hints on reinstalling either appreciated.

    accessory drive seal on shaft was leaking small amount. Enough to be irritating.

    detroit doesn’t sell a seal just complete accessory drive. Shop is going to pull down drive and get generic seal.

    George, after you fix that leak, you may want to install the upgrade alternator belt tensioner kit Detroit Diesel #23527060. There are a couple of sellers on ebay right now at greatly reduced prices. Your stock oil filler may not work with this kit installed? When I installed this kit on my engine, I found a used one online that worked, DD #23523134.

    Also, you may interested in a gear case stiffener kit, Detroit Diesel #23529492.

    And last but not least, improved 50DN alternator vent line kit Detroit Diesel #23528624.

    Below is a pic of my engine with the upgraded belt tensioner kit installed.

    The truck shop here rebuilt my drive for 321 dollars. Detroit doesn’t sell the parts to rebuild it only new for close to 600 dollars.

    They installed the two bearings and seal with O-ring and charged 75 dollars labor. The balance was cost of parts.
