What Applications Are CAT C2.2 T/As Found In?

And you’re going to get your connecting rod bolts and nuts. This kit is going to give you everything you need to get your engine ready for another life cycle.
Why Your Caterpillar Diesel Engine Serial Number Is Important!
To ensure you’re getting a kit that fits your engine properly, you’ll want to know the ESN for your CAT C2.2 T/A.
Finding Your ESN
Luckily, CAT engines are usually pretty consistent about where the engine serial number is located.
You can most likely find it on a data plate on the driver side of the valve cover.
Similarly, the ESN should follow a pretty predictable pattern amongst the engines.
ESN Format
For most CAT engines, the engine serial number starts with a three-character prefix, like 6NZ or MBN. That is followed by 7 digits.
It’s common practice to refer to CAT engines by their prefix, especially for the popular engines like the 6NZ. This can help you properly identify which number is the ESN.
Why You Need Your Diesel ESN When Shopping for a Rebuild Kit!
It might seem like just one more step that takes time, but it’s actually really important to have your ESN when you’re buying a rebuild kit. It can help save you time and money later on.
When we know your serial number, you can be confident that you’re ordering the right parts for your engine. You won’t be wasting your time re-ordering and returning parts that didn’t work.
