Premium Heavy Equipment Sensor Solution for E320D S6K Engine Systems
Reliable engine cooling performance starts with accurate data. For heavy equipment operators using 5I-7578 or the 34390-00800 part numbers, ensuring the coolant temperature is correctly reported to the ECM is vital for preventing overheating and engine failure. Our 2979315 (also recognized as 2979315 without symbols) is a precision-engineered aftermarket solution that meets or exceeds OEM standards for Caterpillar excavators.
This Water Temperature Sensor (M20 Thread) is specifically designed for high-vibration environments, providing stable electrical signals even under extreme thermal cycling. Whether you are performing a routine maintenance check or a complete engine overhaul, this sensor ensures your machine stays within optimal operating parameters.

This is often caused by a faulty 5I-7578 sensor or damaged wiring. A short in the temperature sensor will send a maximum voltage signal to the ECM, triggering a false high-temperature alarm. We recommend checking the resistance of the sensor against the manufacturer's spec table before replacement.
Yes. The ECM uses temperature data to adjust fuel injection timing. If the 34390-00800 sensor is providing inaccurate data, the engine may struggle with fuel ratios, leading to poor idle or stalling. Replacing the sensor is a cost-effective first step in troubleshooting.
OEM-standard tri-metal structure: Our sensors use a specialized alloy blend that ensures thermal conductivity is identical to the original part, preventing "sensor lag."
Trusted by repair shops & equipment fleets: Thousands of units have been deployed in harsh mining and construction sites worldwide, proving their reliability in the field.
