On a Caterpillar 3306 engine, the thermostat is typically located at the rear of the engine, near the water outlet. It is housed within the thermostat housing, which connects to the radiator and allows coolant to flow to and from the engine. To access it, you may need to remove any covers or components that obstruct the area. Always consult the service manual for specific details related to your engine configuration.

To change the thermostat in a Cat C-15 engine, start by draining the coolant from the system. Locate the thermostat housing, remove the bolts securing it, take out the old thermostat, and clean the housing. Install the new thermostat, ensure proper orientation, reattach the housing, and refill the coolant. Run the engine to check for leaks and proper thermostat operation.
there are 4 sensors. 2 pre cat sensors and 2 post cat sensors. the pre cat sensors (both) are located in the overhead engine compartment towards the passenger side. the post cat converter's are located underneath and to the mid section of the engine and a pain to get to. hope this helps.
The MAP/Boost Sensor of a Cat C7 engine is located on the driver's side of the engine near the back side. It is next to the valve cover in the intake manifold.
It is located on the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter. Depending on which engine you have, there can be several O2 sensors. The one after the cat only monitors the performance of the cat. The ones before the cat effect the performance of the engine.
