PELJ1324-01 ?2011 Caterpillar REMAN CRANKSHAFTS NOW AVAILABLE FOR HIGH DISPLACEMENT (HD) 3500 ENGINES AND OTHER MINING APPLICATIONS
To provide our dealers a more cost effective repair option for engine rebuilds, Cat Reman has now released Reman undersize crankshafts for the High Displacement 3500 engines as well as additional crankshafts used in other mining applications. Though these may be seeded with new when availability and order urgency requires it, dealers should anticipate orders on the Reman to primarily be filled with an actual undersize crankshaft. Reman will prioritize salvageable core be used to fill requirements for the Reman crankshaft and will be utilizing more seeded crankshafts in their engine products to make up any shortfalls.
As per our mining strategy, Upgrade-to-New (UTN) crankshafts are also available which assures the customer of receiving a new crankshaft while still providing some cost savings when they return a core. The list of all options available by engine model is displayed in the chart below:
