PURE PARTS PERFORMANCE

The best way to maintain the top performance and reliability of Cat engines is by
insisting on Genuine Cat Parts and Service. While will-fit imitations may initially cost
less, they could also have deficiencies that don’t show up until it’s too late to prevent
engine damage.
The Caterpillar “Genuine Network” of Authorized Dealers means that Cat Parts are CAT C11 305 HP – 370 HP

ACERT TECHNOLOGY LEADS THE WAY

ACERT Technology is a total systems solution concentrating on four key areas: (1) combustion technology, 3. Don’t be afraid to lug it back. On long grades, delay downshifts
