Serpentine belt & air filter

(1/3) > >>

Scott Hinote:
Hi everyone we are new owners of a diesel pusher like many here , we have a 2000 Beaver Patriot Ticonderoga, with a 3126b caterpillar 330 . I’m looking for any information about the part number for my air cleaner . I have a picture but it’s not letting me share it . The second question is I’m trying too verify a part number someone gave me a while back for my Serpentine belt . The number I was given is a NAPA part number ( 8PK1775) . Thanks everyone and I’ll search around and see if I can figure out how to post a picture .

Eric Maclean Co-Admin:
Youll have to verify the dimensions but the air filter on my 1997  3126 b is a Napa #6857
The number I have for the serpentine belt is Napa 25-080700 or Dayco # 5080700
The water pump belt is a Cat # 036-6775

Hope this helps

Scott Hinote:
Yes indeed that helps , I’ve never changed any of them, and I’m going to before we leave on this next trip . Seems to me, from listening to other discussions that I should use caterpillar parts as much as possible . May I ask how many miles you have on your engine ? I’ve got just over 86,000 , last year when we bought it, it had 84,000 .

Eric Maclean Co-Admin:
Scott
I only have in the neighborhood of 75,000 miles on mine
But at 25 years of age it's always a good idea to start and replace any rubber items like belts and hoses before they deteriorate and cause a problem on the road somewhere in the middle of no man's land if you know what I mean

Scott Hinote:
Eric I agree , I’m having a hard time getting motivated . I’ve never worked on a Diesel engine of any kind . I know I need to be able to do all this work myself , but it’s so friggin hard to get to anything . If I was able to get right in front of the engine and have some room to work I wouldn’t be so hesitant to . It seems, so far anyway I’ve got to lift up the bed and some how lay on top of the engine and try to remove the old belt, then I could check the tenser and bearings . I could take it somewhere and have them do the work , but as you know that will probably cost a couple thousand dollars . And I really need to know how to do it myself, in case something was to ever happen on the road. Thanks and I’ll try and keep you posted on my progress .
