NEW & CAT REMAN: TWO PROVEN CHOICES. ONE CATERPILLAR WARRANTY.
Worn injectors can reduce engine efficiency, shorten component wear life and result in poor emissions performance. Any of these can increase your operating costs. Cat® injectors deliver up to 3X more wear life. Longer injector life means lower operating costs and more money in your pocket. Plus, your bottom line is protected by the standard Caterpillar parts warranty. When you choose Cat injectors, you'll earn more and save more.
*Contingent damage due to injector failure is covered on dealer- or certified Cat technician-installed Cat injectors.
You can count on the proven quality of Cat injectors. Testing and competitive analysis confirm that many competitors don’t match Cat engine specs, which means you lose performance and wear life — and that’s less money in your pocket.

Meeting the needs of today's electronically controlled engines along with low-sulfur, low-lubricity fuels is a challenge. Every Cat injector is precisely programmed to engine timing. Only Caterpillar can replicate that exact timing to give you the best performance and longest engine life.
Every Cat Reman injector must pass rigorous end-of-line testing that gauges fuel delivery, timing, peak injection pressure (PIP) and assembly leakage. Eight of the nine other injectors we tested failed to meet all of Cat Reman’s high standards.

Five didn’t achieve an acceptable fuel delivery versus timing range, which can result in low power, misfires, poor fuel economy, high smoke levels and high exhaust temperatures.
Six could not be electronically trimmed, a process for fine-tuning the injector to meet strict emissions and performance standards.
Four didn’t meet injector leakage specs, which can lead to oil dilution and premature component wear.
The use of today's low lubricity fuels can cause accelerated wear, most often fuel injector plunger scuffing. This can make the surface rough so the sliding motion of the plunger will not be smooth and lead to an incorrect amount of fuel injected into the system.
Caterpillar manufactures injectors with hard coatings to deliver up to 3X the life expectancy of non-coated parts. This helps reduce your costs by extending the life of your engine.
Cat filters and fluids are designed and manufactured to reduce engine wear and protect your bottom line. Lab results revealed that using Cat filters:
A customer field study confirmed 45% longer injector life using Cat filters. It costs a lot more to replace an injector than to use the right filters!
