For bolts into aluminum, use light oil, or anti-seize, not Loctite! For bolts into the steel bracket, use Loctite.
Check for free movement of the lever and pulley after bolting to the bracket! If the lever sticks at any point in it’s travel, check the bracket for any weld spatter, or plating material, and use a Dremel to smooth the area. If the pulley pin is rubbing, it may be pressed in too far. Support the back side of the pulley, and press or tap it in with a hammer, until it has clearance.

This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-01-027A (Section 06 — Engine/Propulsion System). Information on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines for the 6.6L
Duramax Diesel Engine
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the combustion process, part of this oil layer is consumed. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines.
