REMANUFACTURED FOLDED CORE RADIATORS NOW AVAILABLE FOR OFF-HIGHWAY TRUCK APPLICATIONS Caterpillar

AVSpare is announcing additions to its Remanufactured Radiator Program. These folded core radiators are available for a number of Off-Highway-Truck applications.

The addition of these radiators for off-highway truck applications will provide dealers with another repair option to support their customers. The new part numbers and its Reman equivalent are shown below. See the radiators technical supplement, SELD0254, for application information and additional acceptable cores.

AVSpare® Remanufactured radiators contain 100% new cores and meet all critical new part performance specifications, with a same-as-new parts warranty. Process controls throughout the remanufacturing process ensure consistent quality. This same-as-new quality is available at a fraction of new part prices to help lower the customer?s overall owning and operating costs. In addition, worldwide availability through the AVSpare distribution system minimizes customer downtime.

All of these radiators are currently available for order. AVSpare has established

distribution-center inventory levels based upon estimated normal demand. Dealer input can help better allocate this material. If you expect to have a significant demand for these new AVSpare remanufactured components, please provide your AVSpare (subsidiary) marketing organization?s Reman contact, or your AVSpare district representative, with your forecasted part number requirements by month in advance to help ensure components are available to meet your needs.
