Thanks Paul

Does the book give any details as to the difference between the 9600 and 9600H series.......... The H being used by the HD MapleLeaf truck....

Book sure looks clean....don't you ever read it????

I scored a NOS 5.43 ring and pinion for the torque tube 1940 1 ton Chev I have...

So the GMC.... the real GMC with GMC engines (228 and 248) had a model H similar to but different than the BIG Maple LeaF..... anything to keep the dealers happy!!!!!

Yes, the 9600H used a GMC 248. The smaller GMC trucks in Canada used a 224 inline six. The 224 was a 216 bored 1/16” to give the larger displacement so the GMC would have a different engine than the equivalent Chevrolet.

The PO of my C15a had a rebuilt 224 that bolted right up to the CMP bell housing.

So Paul in your GMC manuals any pictures of the double action shock absorbers as seen on CMP????

Hi Bob, my manual doesn’t have pictures of the shock absorbers on the vehicle but does have a section on overhauling the double acting shocks.

Hi Bob, there may be some confusion about Canadian GMC engines. The U.S. GMC trucks used the 228, 248, 270 series GMC built engines. The Canadian trucks used a bored out 216 that displaced 224 cubic inches, only the heavy duty trucks used the GMC engines.
