A Delay Handled the Right Way
Honestly, if I were in Miami like my shipment was, I wouldn?t have been in a hurry to ship out either. I was frustrated at first ? delays cost me time on the job ? but Propel Parts stepped up.
Deb, Daniel and the team owned the mistake, kept the communication clear, and graciously refunded my shipping costs without making it a hassle. That kind of accountability is rare these days, and I genuinely appreciated how they handled it.
Things don?t always go perfectly, but these folks proved they?re more interested in doing right by their customers than just pushing parts out the door. Solid company, solid people.

P.S. Incredible quality on the pin as well. I had to do some custom modifying, and let?s just say the case hardening was ? well ? hard. Great Stuff! Thank you. -

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3J6572 shim and how is it used?
The 3J6572 is a precision shim used to fine-tune clearances, pre-loads, and alignments in Caterpillar equipment assemblies. For the full range of heavy equipment hardware parts including shims and adjustment tools, visit our hardware category.
How do I know which shim thickness I need?
Shim selection is determined by measuring the actual clearance or pre-load gap in the assembly with precision measuring tools and then calculating the required shim thickness from the service manual specification.
Which machines use the 3J6572 shim?
Shim compatibility depends on the assembly location, OD, ID, and thickness. For related engine components, see our Caterpillar engine components category. Verify the part number and assembly location using your Caterpillar service documentation.
Can shims be reused after removal?
Shims that show no signs of scoring, cracking, or deformation can generally be reused if they still meet the thickness specification when measured with a micrometer. Shims from high-wear areas should be measured carefully before reuse.
Is this a quality aftermarket shim?
Yes ??? the 3J6572 is a premium aftermarket shim produced to meet or exceed OEM specifications for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and hardness.
What are the consequences of incorrect shim selection?
Using a shim that is too thick creates excessive pre-load, leading to rapid bearing or bushing wear. Using one that is too thin results in excessive clearance, causing noise, vibration, and accelerated wear.
