Why Buying a Remanufactured Engine Might Be Best for Your Truck

When you have a significant breakdown with your truck and may need extensive engine work to fix it, you will need to consider the amount of work and the cost of the work before you decide how to best make the repairs. If the engine damage is significant enough to need a complete rebuild, you may want to look at remanufactured engines as an option. Here are some reasons why this might be the case. 

Faster Repairs

Replacing the engine in your truck with a new remanufactured diesel engine is a good option if you are in a hurry to get the truck back and do not want to wait for the technician or shop to rebuild the one in your truck. Remanufactured diesel engines are already assembled and ready to go into the truck. They are complete, except for the external accessories and parts that you can reuse from your current engine.

The technician can remove your engine and replace it with a remanufactured engine. This is much faster than pulling, rebuilding, and reinstalling the engine that is already in the truck. If you are working with a diesel repair shop that has rebuilt diesel engines, you can buy the engine directly and have it installed in a couple of days.

Reliability and Ease of Mind

Often, the idea of a major engine rebuild can be stressful because you never know what the technician will find inside your engine when they disassemble it. If you are concerned that the engine is not repairable, remanufactured diesel engines might be the best solution. Buying from a reputable re-manufacturer helps to give you the peace of mind that the replacement engine will work properly and will be a reliable replacement to extend the life of your truck.

Remanufactured diesel engines are typically tested before they leave the shop, and many of them come with a warranty. This helps you know that you are getting a quality product and that the remanufacturer will stand behind the engine if you experience a failure within the warranty period. 

Optional Engines

Some trucks had optional diesel engines in them when they were manufactured; if you want to put a larger engine into your truck, talk to the tech doing the work for you. You may have the option to purchase the larger option when you are buying remanufactured diesel engines from the builder. The tech will be able to tell you if the engine will fit your truck, and the engine shop will let you know if they have the engine you want in stock.
