Introduction
Do not perform any procedure that is outlined in this Special Instruction and do not order any parts until the entire instruction has been read and understood.
This Special Instruction describes the installation of features that enhance the performance for engines with these characteristics:
- G3508
- 1400 rpm rated speed
- Twin turbochargers
- ADEM 3 Electronic Control Module (ECM)
This conversion includes the following changes:
- Twin turbocharger configuration to single turbocharger configuration

- Apply 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound to the threads of the sensor. Insert the sensor into the adapter ring for the exhaust. Tighten the sensor.
Torque ... 50 ± 5 N·m (37 ± 4 lb ft)
- Install the buffer onto the two mounting posts. Verify that the buffer is flush with the mounting plate.

- Replace the two spacers onto the mounting posts. Replace the cover for the buffer. The cover has a slot that is located over the pin on the mounting plate. This slot ensures that the cover for the buffer will align properly onto the mounting plate.
- Replace the nuts and the washers onto the mounting posts. Tighten the nuts until the nuts are barely snug. This procedure allows movement of the cover for the buffer.
- Slide one of the tie-wraps over the wiring from the buffer to the 8-pin connector. Slide the other tie-wrap over the wiring from the buffer to the sensor. Ensure that the tie-wraps go around the metal tabs on the cover for the buffer. Pull the tab in order to tighten the tie-wrap as firmly as possible.

Torque ... 5 ± 2 N·m (44 ± 18 lb in)
- Pull the harness straight from the end of the sensor and mark the harness 135 mm (5.3150 inch) from the end of the sensor. Secure the harness to the support bracket at the marked location by using one of the included tie-wraps. Pull the tab in order to tighten the tie-wrap as firmly as possible.
Note: Do not pull the sensor harness until the sensor harness is tight. Leave an arc of slack so that there is not any pull on the sensor.
- Pull the sensor harness straight from the buffer. Verify that the slack in the harness from the point between the buffer and the support bracket is correct with the recommended slack. The slack is listed in Table 9. Secure the sensor harness to the support bracket near the buffer by using one of the included tie-wraps. Pull the tab in order to tighten the tie-wrap as firmly as possible.
- Connect the 8-pin connector of the buffer to the engine harness.
Note: The sensor and the sensor buffer are integrated parts. The sensor and the sensor buffer must be replaced as a single component, if necessary.

Register the Retrofit
Because retrofits to a prime product will change the configuration of the product, updating the configuration in SIMSi and AIMS is important. If the retrofit information is not provided, Caterpillar will not be able to provide important product updates.
The following information includes instructions on registering the updates and retrofits.
- When performing a retrofit installation, record the vital information in Table 11.
Note: If the procedure is performed by the customer, ask the customer to record the proper information.
Show/hide tableTable 11 Repair Date         Product Serial Number         Service Hours or Service Meter Units         Removed Component Part Number (1)         Removed Component Serial Number (1)         Installed Component Part Number (2)         Installed Component Serial Number (3)         Show/hide table( 1 ) Only applies if a component is replaced by a retrofit component. If the product is an engine, and the product retrofit is a kit for upgrading the engine, disregard the "Removed Component" information. Refer to detailed instructions in Step 3 for more information. ( 2 ) Record the highest level retrofit kit, arrangement, or group part number. ( 3 ) Most retrofits will not have a serial number. Exceptions include emissions repower engines and diesel particulate filters.
- Update the product configuration by entering the information from Table 11 into SIMSi and AIMS.
Note: For retrofits that have a Caterpillar serial number, the AIMS application is "JIZ111-08". For retrofits that do not have a Caterpillar serial number, the AIMS application is "JIZ111-07".
- For detailed instructions on updating the product configuration, refer to Special Instruction, REHS5097, "Instructions to Register the Retrofit".
