When your lorry’s powerplant starts underperforming, the temptation to rebuild to save some money is substantial.
But hold your horses – rebuilds can get expensive, and depending on the parts you need, you could be waiting months for deliveries.
Complete used truck engines are often a better bet to get back on the road, especially if you can wangle in part exchange to lower costs.
The rebuild trap
Labour costs for engine rebuilds pile up faster than empties at a bottle bank. New parts? They’ll have your wallet crying for mercy.
Surprise issues like turbocharger pressure problems, misfuelling woes, and gasket leaks can further dent your budget and make the whole project uneconomic.
A smarter swap
Why bother with a rebuild when you could swap in a quality used engine with potentially lower mileage and less wear?
In return, we’ll take your old engine and give you a younger, fitter engine. It’s like trading in your grandad’s Morris for a nearly new Transit.
These aren’t just any old engines, mind. We’re talking about low-mileage beauties with plenty of life left in them. Most commercial diesels are suitable for a million clicks or more, so an engine with 300,000 on the clock is just getting warmed up.
Quality you can bank on
Are you worried about buying a dud? Don’t be. We show off our engines in high-definition videos – it’s like getting a virtual test drive before you buy.
You can also request additional photos and videos of our fully used truck engines in action. We’re happy to provide whatever you need.
Pounds and pence
A used engine looks pretty tasty when you add up all the rebuild costs. Factor in the part exchange for your old engine, and you’re laughing all the way to the bank.
Our customers save 30% on average by buying a completely used truck engine rather than rebuilding their old one due to major malfunctions.
The Frankenstein factor
Rebuilds often involve a mishmash of old and new bits. Sometimes, this works, but usually, it’s a recipe for poor reliability and costly second fixes.
A complete used truck engine matches everything with OEM parts, just as the factory’s boffins intended. The result is a reliable truck engine that could run for another decade or more – perfect for maximising your profits.
Wrapping it up
Getting back on the road quickly and cheaply is what it’s all about, and a quality used lorry engine ticks all the right boxes – it’s faster, cheaper, and more reliable than messing about with rebuilds when you have jobs to do.
