CHANGE OF CORE CRITERIA FOR REMAN CRANKSHAFTS Caterpillar

   December 2001  

CHANGE OF CORE CRITERIA FOR REMAN CRANKSHAFTS

Effective immediately, damaged core refund for all Reman crankshaft upgrade- to- new transactions has been expanded to include the following:

? Cracked or broken
? Unacceptable part number or competitive part number
? Evidence of unsuccessful attempts to salvage

Also, the no core refund portion for upgrade- to- new transactions has been eliminated. Previously, crankshafts in the above condition received no core refund. Core criteria for undersized transactions, remains the same.

We trust these changes will help you achieve additional sales and that you will find the Reman Products Group easier to do business with.

Refer to Crankshaft Reman Core Acceptance Criteria SELD0017-06 for the latest core acceptance criteria, which can be accessed on the extranet. Select your marketing subsidiary home page, Product Support Marketing, Reman Products, Core Acceptance Criteria, Crankshafts.
