Bad oil cooler

A lot! Not a hard job, but that cooler is expensive. You'd be looking at around $1100 for all the parts needed. Then add in about 4-5 hours of labor. If it's really bad, add in a few more hours flushing the cooling system.

 

Not so much on the cooler itself. But labor intensive. I would turn it to a CAT location. They deal with it frequently and know the ins and outs and have all parts on hand if needed.
The basic labor rate per hour might be higher but at the end they will be faster than a random repair shop.

I think mine was $2900 Can a few years back.

 

Good to hear. Even a $3100 quite a hitter pill to swallow.
What I like at CAT is their fix rate system. At least at the dealer I'm using. I know upfront what it's going to cost when the truck comes out of the shop.
The warranty is awesome. No if or but as long as the engine is in original condition.
