Caterpillar 296-8060 is the engine pressure sensor with a brass hex body, O-ring sealed thread and three pin plug. It is used on Caterpillar C7 and C9 engines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Wrong or missing reading
A failed sensor gives a dead or false gauge reading or a warning light.
Fault codes
Check the wiring and plug first; if the sensor itself reads out of range, replace it.
Corrosion
Connectors on machines take water and dirt. A corroded sensor is cheaper to replace than to chase.
Fleet spares
Common sensors are worth keeping in stock for each machine type.
