For over 85 years, the term Caterpillar has been associated with robust and reliable machinery and heavy industrial vehicles. When you see the bright yellow colour of Caterpillar vehicles, you can be sure of the quality you get.

While Caterpillar offers you impeccable performance and durability, you also have a key role to play in the machine’s maintenance This is achieved through appropriate use and regular maintenance and repairs. In this regard, the component you should pay most attention to is the engine.

At 3K Calibrations, we provide Caterpillar EGR & DPF support services to ensure your engine offers you top performance throughout its lifespan.

Why Tune Your Caterpillar Engine? 

If you work with Caterpillar industrial machines or are tasked to maintain them, you know all too well how repairs can be nightmarish. This is especially so with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. Moreover, you understand how expensive repair can be. 

The EGR is designed to reduce emissions and protect the environment. However, it can decrease the lifespan of  diesel engines and affect the performance of your Caterpillar machine. This happens due to the accumulation of carbon deposits that damages the cylinders. In turn, this causes the engine to overheat and wear out prematurely. 

Some of the reasons to tune your Caterpillar engine include:

  • Improve Performance and Response: Engine response has a significant influence on the performance of your vehicle. After performing Caterpillar EGR and DPF tuning, you’ll notice an increase in throttle response. Moreover, since the engine will be clean and free of carbon deposits, it will run better, further enhancing performance. 
  • Cost Savings: The good thing about Caterpillar engine tuning is that it keeps your engine in peak condition. In so doing, it reduces repair costs that you may pay down the line. In addition, it ensures your engine achieves the maximum lifespan, thus eliminating the cost of replacing it. 
  • Improved Fuel Economy: Aside from throttle, a key part of engine performance is fuel efficiency. As throttle and engine performance reduces due to damage and carbon deposits, so too will fuel efficiency. As such, you’ll enjoy improved fuel economy after Caterpillar EGR service .
