Good Stuff.
We have had a couple shipping issues, but each time they made it right and we ended up getting what we need. Quality parts at half the price of OEM. -
I’ve been ordering parts from propel for about 3 years & counting. I live in Hawaii where we have a hard time getting parts especially for decent prices with fast shipping. 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 2G3221 washer used for?
The 2G3221 washer spreads a fastener clamping load over a wider area, protecting the surface and helping the joint hold torque. It also resists loosening from vibration.
How do I install the 2G3221 washer?
Fitting the 2G3221 correctly comes down to clean surfaces and following the manual sequence. Work through these steps:
- Power down the machine and isolate the assembly before service
- Clean the seating surface and check it for damage or burrs
- Place the 2G3221 in the correct orientation under the fastener
- Torque the fastener to specification so the washer seats evenly
Which Caterpillar machines is the 2G3221 compatible with?
The 2G3221 is matched to particular Caterpillar equipment, so always verify the application against your parts reference before purchasing. Please reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Does the 2G3221 washer meet performance standards?
Yes. Propel Parts supplies the 2G3221 as a premium aftermarket part made to meet OEM specifications. When replacing, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications so you can fit it with confidence.
How often should the 2G3221 be replaced?
Replace the 2G3221 whenever the assembly it serves is overhauled, or any time it shows wear, damage, or corrosion. Following the intervals in your service manual is the best guide.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 2G3221 washer?
When the 2G3221 reaches the end of its service life, the symptoms tend to show up first as performance or wear issues. Look for:

- Cupping, cracking, or flattening of the washer
- Marking or embedding into the mating surface
- Corrosion that weakens the contact area
