An oil cooler is a fairly simple component, which means that it rarely fails. However, when doing any major engine work, it should be replaced. There are many reasons why a diesel engine can fail. And when it does, the oil cooler should be swapped out as well.
Diesel engines are made up of thousands of moving parts, and keeping them lubricated comes down to having a correctly working oil pump. If the oil pump on your Cat C15 ACERT Diesel engine is not working properly, failure and damage is the only possible outcome.
The Caterpillar C15 ACERT diesel engine is no doubt one of the most popular heavy-duty machinery engines. Unfortunately, it has been documented as being a little problematic, to say the least, especially when it comes to their cylinder heads.
Camshafts are a critical part of your diesel engine. The dictionary defines a “camshaft” as an object which takes rotational motion and turning it into reciprocal motion.
The once lazy, black smoke-chugging, locomotive-like engines are no longer. Nowadays, diesel-powered engines are cleaner than ever, produce more power, and use less fuel. But how do you know when it is time to replace their fuel injectors?
