Plan Ahead For Year-Round Cat^® Truck Engine Protection

Right Now, This Engine Coverage Is On Us

This is a great time to consider upgrading to a Cat Reman engine with new content or a Cat Reman heavy-duty engine. Purchase and register a Cat Reman engine with new content in 2026 and get 48 months of complimentary ESC, including towing in the US and Canada. Cat Reman heavy-duty engines come with 36 months of complimentary ESC.

It’s more than a great deal. It’s lasting protection and peace of mind for the miles ahead. ESC pays for parts and repairer labor for covered repairs due to defects in materials, factory and dealer workmanship and resultant damage — meaning if one covered component fails and takes another with it, both repairs are covered. That helps reduce out-of-pocket expenses and keeps your truck moving, not waiting on parts.

More Ways To Protect Your Investment

You don’t need to purchase a complete engine to take advantage of ESC’s benefits, either. You can also:

• Protect your rebuild: Precious Metals Kit ESC lets you add up to 48 months of coverage when you purchase a kit over the counter or through the shop.

• Protect your components: Component Plus ESC is available for up to 48 months on more than 20 different Cat truck engine parts, from air compressors to water pumps.

• Protect your overhaul: Overhaul Protection for Cat Truck Engines covers complete overhauls performed by authorized Cat or TEPS dealers for up to 48 months.

Warranty Vs. ESC: What’s The Difference?

Maybe you’re asking, “Why do I need ESC if I already have warranty coverage?” The answer comes down to timing.

Genuine Cat new and Cat Reman parts are covered by a 12-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty.¹ Cat Reman heavy-duty engines are covered by a 24-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty,¹ and Cat Reman medium-duty engines are covered by a 36-month, 150,000-mile or 3,600-hour Caterpillar Limited Warranty,¹ plus towing coverage for the first 12 months.

That’s strong protection. But warranty coverages are designed for early hour failures and factory workmanship, not for defects in components that surface after thousands of miles and years on the road. That’s when ESC steps in. It’s protection that helps you manage repair risk long after your warranty coverage expires. Think of it like health insurance for your truck engine — one upfront cost now instead of unpredictable repair bills later.

_{¹Warranty can vary by model and application; limitations apply. For complete details about the applicable Caterpillar Limited Warranty, contact an authorized Cat dealer.}

What Protection Looks Like In Real Life

Say you’re having trouble starting your engine or notice a sudden drop in fuel efficiency. Your repair shop’s diagnosis? Water pump failure and it needs to be replaced. Without ESC, parts and labor for that repair could cost you thousands of dollars. With ESC, those costs are covered — and you might spend less than $300 for four years of protection. That’s a small price to sidestep a big risk.

The benefits don’t stop there. ESC can also give you:

• A hedge against inflation. You pay today’s rates, which helps you avoid future price hikes on parts and labor.

• Stronger financial footing. Coverage can make it easier to secure financing since lenders see reduced risk.

• A resale advantage. ESC transfers with the engine serial number, so it goes with your truck when you sell.

• Protection that travels with you. Coverage is honored at all authorized Cat and TEPS dealers in the U.S. and Canada.

Your Simple Coverage Checklist

ESC makes it easy to match the right level of protection to the way you work. Here’s how to make sure you’re covered for the miles ahead:

• Purchasing an engine? Talk to your dealer about complimentary 48-month ESC on Cat Reman engines with new content or complimentary 36-month ESC on Cat Reman heavy-duty engines.

• Buying a rebuild kit or installing new components? Add Precious Metals Kit ESC or Component Plus ESC at purchase to extend protection for up to four years.

• Keep your invoices handy. Coverage is registered by engine serial number and travels with your engine — giving you lasting protection wherever the road takes you.

The ESC Payoff: Predictable Costs, Fewer Surprises

There’s a lot riding on your Cat truck engine. ESC helps protect your investment, your schedule and your peace of mind with coverage built to keep you moving, mile after mile.

If you haven’t reviewed your coverage yet, now’s the time to do it — don’t wait until the next failure. Ask your Cat dealer about complimentary offers and other ESC options available for your Cat truck engine. With the right plan in place, you can keep your focus where it belongs: on the road ahead, not the what-ifs.
