Brass Plug Now Used Instead Of Steel Plug In Sea Water Aftercooler{1063}
Usage:
All D379, D398, And D399 Engines Equipped With Sea Water Aftercoolers
Description of Change: The sea water aftercooler for D379, D398 and D399 Marine Engines now uses brass plugs instead of steel plugs. It was possible for the steel plugs to be damaged by corrosion caused by the sea water.
Adaptable To: The brass, 8B8817 Plug is a direct replacement for steel plugs 3J5388 and 2B858, in this application. It is Caterpillar's recommendation that the brass plug be ordered when a replacement plug is needed.
