Tony White (Iowa, USA)100%I put 2 of the same orders in due to a web page error and shortly after I was contacted by Deb from customer service asking if I meant to place both orders. She was very helpful, the email was very well written and it genuinely made me feel better about the whole experience. She resolved the issue quickly and with there not being much of customer service these days I was very happy so see that is not the case everywhere!!!

I've been 100% satisfied with the company and the customer service and will continue to use them. I recommend propel to everyone here in Hawaii and we are all happy to have you guys. Thank you!!!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Caterpillar 3E8017 locknut used for?
The 3E8017 locknut is a precision fastening component used across a wide range of Caterpillar equipment. It is designed to resist vibration-induced loosening, which makes it ideal for securing critical joints on engines, structural assemblies, and attachment points that are subject to heavy loads and continuous movement.
What equipment models is this locknut compatible with?
This locknut is compatible with multiple Caterpillar machine families. Always verify the part number against your specific model and serial number before ordering. Check your manual or reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
How do I know when a locknut needs to be replaced?
Signs that a locknut needs replacing include visible thread damage, rounding of the hex profile, rust or corrosion that weakens the grip, or a joint that continually loosens even after retorquing. During scheduled service intervals, inspect all locknuts and replace any that show wear.
Can I use an aftermarket locknut on my CAT equipment?
Yes. High-quality aftermarket locknuts that meet or exceed OEM specifications are a practical and cost-effective choice. When replacing worn fasteners, choose parts that match the correct thread pitch, hardness grade, and dimensional tolerance for your application. You can browse our full range of CAT hardware parts to find compatible fasteners across all categories.
What torque specifications should I follow when installing this locknut?
Always refer to the Caterpillar service manual for the specific torque values associated with the joint or assembly where this locknut is used. Using a calibrated torque wrench and following proper torquing sequences helps prevent joint failure, component damage, and safety hazards on the job site.
Does this locknut require a matching bolt or stud?
Yes ??? locknuts must be matched to the correct bolt or stud specification, including thread size, pitch, and grade. Mismatched fasteners can strip threads or lead to joint failure. Confirm that both the bolt and locknut are rated for the same load requirements of the assembly.
What warranty comes with the 3E8017 locknut from Propel Parts?
All parts from Propel Parts are covered by a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturing defects and material failures. If you experience any issues, the Propel Parts team is here to make it right with fast support and hassle-free resolutions.
