This thermostat controls coolant flow as the engine warms up. A thermostat stuck open can make the engine run too cool, while one stuck closed can cause rapid overheating.
Cat currently lists 249-5541 as a water-temperature regulator across many 3024C / C2.2 / C1.5 applications. Match the old thermostat and engine serial before ordering.
