RE: 09 Cummins 871 with ultrashift
the shop not using a proper torque-wrench... that is why bolts strip out in an aluminum housing like that.

How much you want to bet if you call em up and ask the mechanic who did the work, what the proper torque for those bolts are, they will at best.. fumble around ,... and have to look it up for the first time somewhere .. and otherwise, has no clue, because it is not standard practice for them to actually do the job right.

the solution is to tear it all out again and properly heli-coil the stripped out bolt holes.. that, or replace the flywheel housing all together. - Should be done at the expense of the person who did not use a torque r=wrench on it to begin with.. but you kn ow there is likely no way they will own up to such mistakes in the first place.

Welcome to half-arssed truck repairs r us.. This is the age we live in.. That is why i am so adamant about people doing as much as possible to their own equipment these days.. or at least making sure a mechanic is going to use a damn torque wrench and use proper methods.. this kind of stuff is nothing to play with.
