Choose your starting point

Which diesel is in your truck?

Replacement engine or rebuild?

Ask for the scope that suits the job: a replacement assembly or a rebuild of your existing engine. Availability, machining, included parts and timing are confirmed for your exact engine.

A complete repair plan

Tell us what happened to the original engine. Have your installer identify the fuel, turbo, cooling and lubrication components that need inspection or replacement, and include them in the quote.

A useful quote starts here

Tell us what you have and what happened.

  1. Vehicle year, make, model, VIN and engine identification.

  2. Current diagnosis, engine condition and any previous modifications.

  3. Engine-only or installation, delivery ZIP code and the date you need the truck working.

Compare the whole job.

Assembly & scope

Confirm whether the offer is a long block, another assembly level or a rebuild of your engine. Accessories, injectors, turbo equipment, controls and installation are included only when stated.

Core & freight

Confirm whether exchange is required and whether a deposit is included or separate. A core must match the purchased engine and be rebuildable to receive credit. Freight and unloading arrangements are confirmed for the order.

Schedule & warranty

Agree on the build or supply schedule and the written coverage for your exact order. Inspection, parts availability and confirmed scope affect timing. Review the oil, maintenance and warranty requirements before use.

Questions before you commit

Can I order from the model name alone?

No. Send the VIN and engine identifiers. Model year and displacement alone do not confirm the exact replacement.

Is every engine shown ready to ship?

No. A guide describes an inquiry path. Current stock, build acceptance, price and lead time are confirmed for your specific order before payment.

Can I get installation help?

Ask about installation at our East Texas shop. The engine, installation labor, supporting repairs and vehicle transport must be itemized for your job. Schedule before bringing a vehicle.

What if there is no matching catalog product?

Call or send your application details. Product-name searches can miss a supplier or engine-code listing. We confirm the available assembly or rebuild path rather than substituting a similar-looking product.
