During 500-hour frame inspections, inspect the weld around the left-hand side fore aft beam cab mounting bars that are
located in the fore aft beam. Inspect the welds on both bars (forward and rear) on the top and bottom side of the fore aft
beam.

If cracking is present, submit a Dealer Service Network (DSN). Include photographs, and relevant information (frame hours,
crack length) in the request and reference this Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) to receive the rework procedure. The
rework procedure improves fatigue life by increasing the weld size to a 12 mm (0.50 inch) fillet weld over a 10 mm
(0.40 inch) groove weld.
