- 10090053Aftertreatment outlet nox sensor internal water shield installation - water intrusion can cause the malfunction or failure of the aftertreatment outlet nox sensor on vertical exhaust configurations. The recommended repair IS to install a rain shield which prevents water from traveling down vertical exhausts from contacting the outlet nox sensor.
- 10089398CT11 and CT13 cylinder head crack inspection guide - CT11 and CT13 cylinder heads are cracking in the field. This technical information bulletin (tib) provides a guide for determining the severity and impact of cylinder head cracks on CT11 and CT13 engines.
- 10089342The steer axle brake chamber air line IS rubbing on the front tires on certain ct680 on highway trucks - the brake chamber air fitting IS turned 180 degrees allowing the brake chamber air line to rub against the steer tire. Inspect and rotate the brake chamber air fitting 180 degree to route the line toward the front of the truck instead of the rear.
- 10089337Extended life coolant (elc) exhibiting nitrite depletion in machines equipped with aluminum radiators-nitrites in extended life coolant (elc) can react with the aluminum cooler to produce elevated ph and low nitrite levels in schedule oil sampling (s@o@s) samples. As there are multiple issues that can contribute to the depletion of nitrite, contact your local cat dealer to request level 2 coolant analysis if nitrite depletion IS experienced.
- 10089318The existing exhaust flex pipe can crack on certain ct660, ct680, and ct681 on-highway trucks. If the existing exhaust flex pipe cracks it can/will result in an exhaust leak after the aftertreatment system but before the vertical stack. Replace the exhaust flex pipe and both cab shocks.
