'08 6.4L Engine & Body hardware kits

[snw blue by you]

I could have sworn I saw a message that said somewhere there was a list of kits of the hardware needed to perform jobs, yet I now can not find it nor does the hotline know anything.

 

I remember it had something to do with customer convenience, so the customer would not have to wait so long and neither would the tech reuse hardware we are not supposed to.

 

Any help?

Thanks,

Steph.

Nevermind.

 

It was SSM 19841, and there are no kits, least none that I saw.

 

Stupid!

I don't know what "kits" this refers to but I don't recall my parts guy coming across such a listing. None the less, I thought about this when I did my first cab off for a fuel pump. I ordered parts twice because I didn't realize exactly what I needed. Creating a list of parts required for jobs, like fuel pumps, would be wise. Having a list is as good as having a kit, no? Seems like I always forget something these days!
