Engine/Cat 350 Getting Hot, Making Noise Inside

Recommended Posts

I have a Beaver/Satium/2005 with Cat 350 motor. Its been getting hot sometimes and making a noise inside?

Pulling a trailer/pickup. Mechanic thinks its a head gasket? Insurance is being balky.

Janicegw,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

How hot is it getting?

Have you had the front of the Charge Air Cooler cleaned?

While overheating can certainly ruin a head gasket, this is really rare on the Cat and Cummins diesels.

I would definitely take it to an authorized Caterpillar dealer. Kind of like going in for surgery-- you want a specialist who does this every day, not a GP.
