Maintenance Options
Repairs Kits - These useful kits can be obtained from your Caterpillar dealer. These kits include all the necessary parts, special tools and instructions to repair your air compressor in either your own maintenance shop or at a servicing dealer's facility. Repair kits simplify parts ordering, help speed repairs and reduce parts cost. Remanufactured - This process uses manufacturing techniques and procedures to restore the air compressor to "like-new" performance capability. This process always involves an end product which conforms to the manufacturer's "original" functional specifications. Component Exchange - This is a cost cutting service that permits you to exchange your worn air compressor for a dealer or OEM factory rebuilt air compressor on an over-the-counter basis. They are available when you need them at a substantial savings in both time and money. New - Replace with a new air compressor.Caterpillar Recommendation
Caterpillar recommends that the use of a Remanufactured air compressor is the most cost effective option.Refer to the Service Manual for your engine to remove and install the air compressor.Turbocharger
Rebuild or Exchange
The cost to maintain the turbocharger before failure as recommended could be significantly less than if you wait until your turbocharger fails.By maintaining the turbocharger before failure, you will minimize unscheduled downtime and reduce the chances for potential damage to other engine parts. When you reduce the risk of unscheduled downtime and costly repairs, you can budget cash for use more profitably elsewhere.If you operate the engine until a turbocharger fails, you could cause additional damage to the engine and your repair costs could be as much as twenty-five times or more compared to the repair before failure cost. This excessive cost is due to additional engine damage that could have been prevented.For example, a failed turbocharger could allow metal particles to enter the air intake system and cause severe engine damage that could result in cracks in the cylinder head, a piston seizure or other potential damage.Our recommended maintenance intervals for performing preventive maintenance on the turbocharger are based on experience and gathered data relative to the expectant life of the engine and its components. These maintenance intervals were developed as a service to minimize unexpected and costly repairs as well as to serve as an aid to reduce your operating costs.Failure to follow our recommendations could result in unexpected, costly repairs and unscheduled downtime. Caterpillar recommends that the most cost effective method for the turbocharger is to rebuild or exchange the unit before it fails.Maintenance Options
