(1) 10R-7989     Connecting Rod    
(1) Use this part number, if less than 6 of the connecting rods need to be replaced.    
(2) 10R-7988     Cylinder Pack As    
(2) Use this part number if less than 6 of the cylinder packs need to be replaced.    
(3) 10R-2789     Connecting Rod    
(3 ) Use this part number if all connecting rods need to be replaced.    
(4) 10R-6214     Cylinder Pack As    
(4) Use this part number if all connecting rods need to be replaced.     (S/N: KCB1-31547) C13 Truck engines were built with 160-8229 00-04 connecting rods and are ~200 g heavier than later designed 160-8229 05-06 and 223-9150 connecting rods. These engines require 10R-7989 (160-8229 00-04) connecting rods or 10R-7988 cylinder packs when three or less cylinders are being replaced. When three or more cylinders are being replaced, use 10R-2789 (160-8229 05-06 and 223-9150) connecting rods or 10R-6214 cylinder packs. Refer to Table 3.Connecting Rods in C13 Cylinder Packs

Combinations of these connecting rods are acceptable due to similarities in weight. Cylinder pack 10R-7988 is only assembled with 10R-7989 (160-8229 00-04) and is only to be used on engines with 160-8229 00-04 connecting rods.
