    CUCV cab heater core multiple failures resulting in leaking of heater core into cab

    Thanks but I'm looking for something higher level than a TM on a specific model. What want to find are the training manuals, checklist and other processes a Depot would use to bring in generators, train staff to do each type of inspection, checklists to complete at each step and then drill down...
