My mechanic back in late October pulled both of my 3126a aftercoolers (part # 278-6038) to have them pressure checked and tested. Turned out one was bad and he suggested that we order two new ones. Caterpillar said they were back ordered 90 days. I called the dealer in early February and they clarified it was actually 92 business days, not calendar days. So we just hit the magic 92 day mark and still no coolers. My mechanic does not recommend rebuilding the old ones. Does anyone here have a possible lead on a set or even one that might be sitting on a shelf somewhere? I tried changing the Cat store location to a different state like Florida, but it will not show me availability outside of California for some reason.
