CATERPILLAR BACKHOE LOADERS:
• Caterpillar 416C/416D/420D/424D/426C 3054C 4.4L Diesel (1996-2008)
• Caterpillar 428C/428D/430D/432D/436C 3054C 4.4L Diesel (1996-2008)
• Caterpillar 438C/442D 3054C 4.4L Diesel (1996-2008)
CATERPILLAR TELEHANDLERS:
• Caterpillar TH62/TH63/TH82/TH83 3054C 4.4L Diesel (2000-2008)
IMPORTANT:
Water temperature sensor for Cat 3054C 4.4L engines (1996-2008). Do NOT confuse with 235-8747 (coolant temp for the same engine) or 235-1790 (broader C4.4 coolant temp). These share M12x1.5 thread and 2-pin connectors but have different NTC values and serve different ECU circuits. Installing the wrong sensor gives incorrect readings without a fault code — the ECU accepts the signal but adjusts fuel incorrectly.
Failure symptoms: wrong temp gauge reading, fan control issues, poor fuel economy. On 3054C backhoes (416C/416D/420D/428C/430D), the water temp sensor is typically on the thermostat housing. Inspect the sealing washer during replacement — a slow coolant leak at the sensor port corrodes the connector.
⚠️ Verify 268-4360 and 2-pin M12x1.5 before ordering.
