## Discrepancy

THE EXHAUST STACK HAD TO BE REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 400.0 HOURS SINCE NEW.  NOW THE AC HAS 1627.3 HOURS TT.  SERVICE REPORTS WAS DONE TO MFG SINCE 12-2000.  IN 3 OCCASIONS THE MFG SENT THE EXHAUST PN 369D2860501 FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT IT DID NOT FIT INTO THE AIRCRAFT.  IN THE MEANTIME, IT CONTINUED CRACKING AND WE CONTINUED TO REPAIR.
