Generations of Experience

Proven Reliability

Electronic Control Module

What if an ECM Fails? Troubleshooting guides help identify a component

or harness problem “Limp home” modes Ability to flash files at repair site

ECM Replacement Options? No serviceable piece parts Some Reman offerings exist

Electronic Control Module

What if a Sensor or Wiring Harness Fails? Decision to repair or replace depends on the problem Sensors and harness segments are serviceable Replacing an entire harness is a last resort

Advantages Optimal cooling Less likelihood of leaks developing and so less chance of

problems related to leaking and/or overheating More durable• Longer life• More reliable operation• Less downtime so ultimately lower cost

Caterpillar

Exhaust Valves

Features• Precisely ground• High strength material• More facing material than

industry standard

Advantages• Increased protection against valve lip cracking and stem

breakage• Increased strength that allows for reusability through 1 or 2

overhauls• Greater fatigue strength• Longer wear life• More durable• More reliable operation• Less downtime so ultimately lower cost

Valves, Solution – Advantage

Not roll burnished Flange thickness out of spec O-Ring grooves not chamfered Increased chance of cracking

Competition

Roll burnished Controlled flange head thickness Chamfered O-Ring seal grooves Heat treated

Cylinder LinersFeatures Uniform cross hatch pattern Roll burnished Controlled flange head thickness Chamfered O-Ring seal grooves Heat treated High-grade gray iron Perfect fit

Advantages Proper oil distribution Longer liner life Increased strength; reduced

susceptibility to cracking Leakage prevention Reusable at first overhaul Lower repair / maintenance

costs over time Higher productivity Less downtime
