Protection For Your Cat® On-Highway Truck Engine

Do you know what your Caterpillar Limited Warranty is?

  • Genuine Cat new and Cat Reman parts are covered by a 12-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty1 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship.

  • Cat Reman heavy-duty engines are covered by a 24-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty1 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship.

  • Cat Reman medium-duty engines are covered by a 36-month, 150,000 miles or 3,600 hours Caterpillar Limited Warranty1 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship, plus towing coverage for the first 12 months.

Meanwhile, Cat ESC options are designed to give you additional peace of mind. Cat ESC gives you protection against unexpected repair bills. The plans are also a great way to hedge your future repair costs against inflation. That’s because Cat ESC covers the cost of parts and labor on not just the covered parts that fail — but also any resultant damage to other Cat parts.

For example, if your water pump goes out and takes your alternator with it, both parts will be replaced with Cat ESC. Better yet, all ESC options are transferable at no additional cost, which may increase the resale value of your engine.

Regardless of your on-highway truck engine needs, your authorized Cat dealer has an ESC plan to give you extra protection and peace of mind. Let’s check them out.

 

Overhaul Protection for Trucks (OPT)

 

Overhaul Protection for Cat on-highway truck engines is an ESC program for engine components that either pass inspection or are replaced at the time of service. This plan covers you when your authorized Cat dealer performs an overhaul to Caterpillar specifications and OPT guidelines. It covers parts installation labor and repairer labor costs for covered component repairs due to defects in materials, factory and dealer workmanship, and resultant damage. Cat Engine Overhaul Protection is available for Cat on-highway truck engines in 18, 24, 36 or 48 months.

 

Precious Metals Kit ESC

 

ESC is available for bronze, silver, gold and platinum precious metals kits — for medium-duty and heavy-duty Cat truck engines. Precious metals kit ESC is also available for titanium and HEUI fuel system kits for medium-duty engines.

The Precious Metals ESC plan covers parts and labor costs on covered component failures. It also covers any resultant damage to other Cat components as a result of those failures. These kits are sold over the counter or through the shop and don’t have mileage or hour limitations. Coverage is available for 24, 36 or 48 months.
