Striking out here. I want to be sure I have all the correct parts. Is there an exploded view of all the parts somewhere? I don't want to open it all up then order parts. Need to have them on hand for quick reassembly.

So using the 668, it says up 300,000 miles in normal and 150,000 in severe duty. in you fleet what’s your filter and fluid change mileage?
