FAQ

Q: How do I verify if this thermostat (1118010) fits my Caterpillar 320B engine?

A: First, locate your engine serial number (ESN). Compare it with the compatibility list provided above. For the most accurate fitment, remove your old thermostat and compare its physical dimensions (diameter, height, and flange design) with the new part. The part number 1118010 is the standard OEM reference for these models.

Q: What is the opening temperature of this thermostat?

A: While the specific temperature rating is not listed in the technical specs, standard diesel engine thermostats for Caterpillar heavy equipment typically open around 82°C (180°F) to 88°C (190°F). This ensures the engine reaches operating temperature quickly. For the exact specification, please refer to your engine’s service manual or contact our support team with your engine details.

Q: Can I install this thermostat myself, and what maintenance is required?

A: Yes, this is a routine maintenance part that can be installed by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves draining the coolant, removing the thermostat housing, replacing the gasket, and installing the new thermostat. Ensure the housing is clean and the gasket is properly seated to prevent leaks. No special maintenance is required after installation; simply check your coolant level and monitor the temperature gauge after starting the engine.
