Hard-working Cat® engines are found under the hoods of over 1 million on-highway trucks across North America, powering medium- and heavy-duty applications.
And while Cat engines are built to last, they'll eventually need a repair, rebuild or replacement. That's where Caterpillar's line of remanufactured truck engines comes in. Supported by a range of replacement parts and kits, Cat Reman engines are designed to provide like new quality for additional lifecycles.
A Drop-In Solution for Your Truck
What if your Cat engine is due for an overhaul? A Cat Reman engine is a drop-in solution, meaning it comes fully assembled and quality-tested for your truck. Watch this video for more details:
The Process Behind Cat Reman
When you purchase a Cat Reman engine, you pay for the cost of the engine itself, plus a core deposit. When you return the old core to your authorized Cat dealer, they'll inspect it and issue a refund of core deposit1 based on the condition of the core. You can use that core refund as credit toward your purchase of a complete Cat Reman engine.
Once the dealer inspects and approves the core, it goes through an intensive remanufacturing and salvage process at one of Caterpillar’s remanufacturing facilities. There, components are disassembled down to individual piece parts, cleaned and inspected.
Then, they’re remanufactured to Caterpillar original performance specifications with critical engineering updates. Ultimately, Cat Reman engines offer like new performance and are available to customers for a fraction of the price of new when you return your core.2
A Broad Range of Engine Options
Your authorized Cat dealer can help you decide if you need repairs, a rebuild or a full engine replacement. Incorporating fully assembled Cat Reman engines can shorten your repair time and, when you return your core, can even save you money.2 The good news is that Cat Reman has an engine option for many on-highway applications.
Replacing Engines and Engine Components with Cat Reman
Some of the components you can get for an engine repair or rebuild include precious metals kits, air compressors, cylinder packs, injectors, oil pumps, turbochargers … and the list doesn’t end there.
Cat Reman medium-duty engines — C7, 3116, 3126, 3126B/3126E — are covered by a 36-month, 150,000 miles or 3,600 hours Caterpillar Limited Warranty3 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship, plus towing coverage for the first 12 months. They come fully assembled with the air compressor, main engine wiring harness, electronic control module and all engine sensors for a fast, efficient overhaul.
If you’re running heavy-duty applications — Cat C-10, C-12, C13 ACERT, C-15, C15 ACERT and 3406 engines — you have options. Cat Reman heavy-duty engines are covered by a 24-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty3 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship.
Complete Cat Reman engines are fully assembled for a fast, efficient overhaul. The electronic control module (ECM), engine wiring harness and sensor set and complete set of oil and fuel lines are included.
Complete Cat Reman engines with new content come with new cylinder blocks, crankshafts and cylinder heads, making even more future overhauls possible. You can also upgrade to a newer engine model or repower your truck from another engine brand.4
In addition to complete Cat Reman engines, you can find Cat Reman long blocks, Cat Reman long blocks with new content and Cat Reman short blocks. All options are covered by a same-as-new Caterpillar Limited Warranty3 against Caterpillar defects in material and/or workmanship.
Caterpillar Quality Every Step of the Way
So how can you get the process started? First, connect with your authorized Cat dealer to select which repair option is right for you. Here are just a couple you could consider:
Cat Reman engines are disassembled, cleaned, inspected, salvaged and remanufactured to Caterpillar original performance specifications with critical engineering updates. Then, they’re tested to ensure they deliver like new performance. Choose Cat Reman if your existing core is still in good condition. That way, you get the quality you want at a cost-effective price with core return.2
Cat Reman engines with new content give you the chance to start over and reset the engine lifecycle. They contain 100% new cylinder blocks, crankshafts and cylinder heads. This gives you increased life expectancy, enhanced overhaul potential and peace of mind. With this option, you don’t need to worry if your core is damaged as we accept most cores, even rusted and corroded ones. It’s like resetting your engine and giving the heart of your truck a jump start.
A Drop-In Solution for Your Truck
So, if it’s time to overhaul your on-highway truck engine, talk about Cat Reman products with your local authorized Cat dealer. They’ll help you choose which repair option is best for you.
And for even more peace of mind, consider Extended Service Coverage (ESC), which gives you protection against unexpected repair bills and rising parts and labor costs. It's a great way to hedge your future repair costs against inflation. Cat Reman medium-duty engines have ESC options up to 48 months. Cat Reman heavy-duty engines have ESC options up to 60 months.5
