Our remanufacturing program is based on an exchange system where you return a used component — called a “core” — for a Cat Reman product. You get credit for your core based on its condition, which helps lower your costs. To determine your credit, we use simple, visual tests that don’t require special tools or disassembly.

1. Cat Reman engines with new content: You can get full core credit for an engine core manufactured by a different OEM if you repower it with a Cat engine of similar displacement and emissions level.
2. Cat Reman upgrade-to-new (UTN) cylinder heads: As long as the aftermarket head you return is an equivalent model to the one you purchase, it’s acceptable. We even accept heads with aftermarket piece parts (valves, springs, guides, etc.).
3. Cat Reman upgrade-to-new (UTN) crankshafts: As long as the aftermarket crankshaft you return is an equivalent model to the one you purchase, it's acceptable.
4. Cat Reman turbochargers: Get full core credit for any equivalent medium- or heavy-duty aftermarket turbo — regardless of operational damage (broken shafts, cracked housing, broken injector tips, etc).
5. Cat Reman water pumps: Get full core credit on select equivalent aftermarket medium- and heavy-duty water pumps. See your authorized Cat dealer for a list of the part numbers that qualify.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to use genuine Cat parts — because we know your Cat truck engine performs better when it’s paired with Cat Reman components.
