September 2001 CHANGE OF CORE ACCEPTANCE FOR REMANUFACTURED MID-RANGE ENGINESCaterpillar Remanufactured Products announces a change to the core acceptance guidelines for mid-range engines. Effective immediately, customers can upgrade their Cat? mid-range engines with Reman and the replaced engine will be acceptable as core. It is necessary for dealers to be using the new CMIS 2 software in order to process the non-one-for-one core transaction. All Cat dealers in North America will be converted to CMIS 2 by November 4, 2001 at the latest.
This change means, for example, if a customer upgrades from a Cat 3126 engine to Cat Reman 3126B, the 3126 engine will be acceptable as core. In the past, all transactions had to be direct replacements. The amount of core refund is based on the returned core engine. The following table shows acceptable replacement options: CORE MANAGEMENT
