Turbochargers. The single, waste-gated turbocharger found on the C18 engine is water-cooled to accommodate sudden hot machine shutdowns. Water cools the bearings during this event, preventing bearing seizure. The C18 engine also includes a new turbine housing and an additional spacer bearing. The addition of a spacer bearing eliminates snap rings and, therefore, reduces complexity and improves shaft motion. The turbocharger for the 772 features a titanium compression wheel. The titanium compression wheel is used to withstand the higher compression wheel speeds that are required, especially...

New A-Frame. The new A-frame mounts directly to the spindles. The new A-frame eliminates the “king” bolt and includes a pin and bushing style mounting, consistent with the 777 and 793. This new design is simpler to maintain and service. New Ductile Iron Spindles. A stressoptimized, ductile iron spindle is splined to the rear brakes, reducing brake pack rebuild time by up to two hours. In addition, the spindles are longer and wider with fewer seals for increased strength and durability. Brake Packs. A single-piece brake anchor eliminates more than 200 fasteners and a row of bolted joints....
