Customer Reviews
Great customer service
Anthony was very professional and on top of what needed to be done to get my order verified and moving forward.
I would give 5 stars but my first time ordering from here and using aftermarket parts. The price is reasonable comparing to original Cat parts and the customer support is great and hoping to do more business with them
Great service at an affordable price to get my machine back going.
Very helpful. Every question or request I had was answered quickly. I didn't have a parts book for my excavator but that was no problem for them. If you need parts for your Cat, give them a shot.
100% excelente
Everything fine, thank you. The only thing with which I had a problem in your Software, is that when I have more than 10 different items on the list, I can't scroll to the first ones. But besides that, I am very happy in going on with buying your parts.
Having issue running my credit card, Steven was more than helpful to send me a payment link to complete my transaction!

Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Caterpillar 3S5096 Clamp used for?
The 3S5096 is an air intake and exhaust clamp designed to secure hose and tube connections in Caterpillar equipment's air management system. It maintains airtight joints between intake ducting, turbocharger hoses, and exhaust pipes, preventing boost leaks and ensuring proper engine airflow.
How do I know when the 3S5096 Clamp needs to be replaced?
Replace the clamp if it shows signs of cracking, rust, distortion, or if the fastening mechanism no longer holds adequate clamping force. A loose or failed clamp allows air leaks that reduce engine power, increase fuel consumption, and can introduce unfiltered air into the intake.
Is the 3S5096 Clamp compatible with my Caterpillar equipment?
Please reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment. Sharing your machine's model number and the hose or pipe diameter will help our team confirm the correct clamp for your application.
What tools do I need to install or remove this clamp?
- Most Caterpillar air intake and exhaust clamps require standard hand tools such as a socket wrench or nut driver.
- Refer to your Caterpillar service manual for the correct tightening torque to avoid over-compression of the hose or distortion of the clamp.
Is this a direct-fit aftermarket replacement?
Yes, the 3S5096 is a high-quality aftermarket clamp manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for clamping force, dimensions, and corrosion resistance, ensuring a reliable and secure fit on compatible Caterpillar equipment.
Does the 3S5096 Clamp come with a warranty?
Yes, it is backed by a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty and Propel Parts' 30-day no-hassle return policy. No core charge is required, and same-day shipping applies to weekday orders placed before 3:00 PM ET.
Are there other air intake and exhaust clamps available at Propel Parts?
