    Can someone give me approximate cost of replacement aftercoolers for Cat 3196 and Cat C-9's?
    Looking at a couple boats of interest powered with these engines and I'm almost certain they have not been replaced at the Cat recommended 6 year interval.

    Also is there a preferred site to order these coolers from?

    Thank you,
    Victor

    Get an estimate from a Cat Dealer. Cost may depend on whether the housing and pipes have been upgraded to new style, at least that is the case on C32s. Not sure if the housing and pipes are different on the other ones.

    We did them on C32s 10 years ago… it was about 30k including new housing and pipes.
