CHANGES TO 3406 AND C-15, C-16 WATER PUMPS

ANNOUNCEMENT

Caterpillar announces a change in the consist and changes to the core criteria (will now accept Midland and Sloan cores for credit) for remanufactured 3406 water pumps (0R-8217 and 0R-8218) and C-15 and C-16 (0R-9869). These water pumps will now include a mounting gasket kit instead of an installation gasket kit.

Any additional gaskets needed for installation purposes will be serviced separately. The former Reman part numbers listed above are cancelled and replaced with the new Reman numbers listed below.

COVERAGE

These remanufactured water pumps will now be packaged with the following mounting gaskets. Other gaskets that may be required are serviced separately.
