    Cat parts manual gives wrong part #

    I also tried part number 9m2250 because I saw another cross reference somewhere. still not the right one. Perhaps I should try the 1p2520 even thought it should be the same as 6n4950

    operating temp D6C

    Ok I checked thermostat: Good Radiator only has 6 fins per inch. looks to be a 4 core. as Masterlink has stated it should have 9 fins per inch! Tag on radiator core reads 4n-6296 or it is 4n-629s (hard to read) does any body know if these correlate with cat #?
