The 169-3690 (1693690) is a complete 3408C engine assembly for the CAT D9R track-type tractor. The official parts catalogue classifies this number as a basic engine arrangement — a fully assembled unit combining the block, cylinder heads, pistons and crankshaft — rather than a single component. A quotation carrying this number is quoting a whole engine, so the scope must be written out clearly.

The official listing calls 169-3690 a basic engine arrangement, describing a fully assembled unit combining the block, cylinder heads, pistons and crankshaft. A quotation carrying this number is quoting a whole engine, so the scope has to be written out.
The official page offers 30R-1837 as a remanufactured long block on the 3408 DI build, in the same family as the 10R and 20R exchange numbers. A long block is not an arrangement, so the two must not be priced as equals.
For replacement engines and long blocks the removed engine core must be returned to the selling dealer, under special instruction PELJ1301. A quotation that does not mention the core is incomplete for such a sale.
Listings for this number are written as 3408C, 3408C-TA, 3408, 3408B and 3408E in one title, and others add 3406E, 3508B, 3508E, 3512E, 3516E and 3520E. Those are different engines, so the number on the engine plate has to be matched.
Prices are quoted per piece, per set, per unit, per box, per bag and per thirty pieces, ranging from about USD 788 to near 524,000. Ask for one price per engine for the stated condition and build.
The 3408 is also built as a marine engine and a generator set engine, with different ratings and arrangement numbers. One listing markets this number as marine while naming the D9R in the same line.
