The engine is perhaps the most important part of a truck. After all, a truck without an engine is basically a large tin can that can’t go anywhere. That’s why many truck owners ensure they take care of their truck’s engine by having it checked regularly and by not abusing its capacity. However, there may be times when the engine stops functioning, whether its because of an accident or a malfunction not covered by the warranty. In such cases, the owner may opt to buy a new truck or replace the engine. Purchasing an engine can be expensive, but not as expensive as buying a new truck, depending on the circumstances. However, an even better option is buying a used engine. This document aims to educate buyers on how to purchase a used truck engine. First, the advantages of buying a used engine will be outlined. Before looking for used engines, buyers should familiarize themselves on the different major parts of an engine, as well as the different types of engines. Buying a used truck ...

What are some of the disadvantages of new OEM parts? Many car owners insist on using OEM parts . But, many do not realize the real disadvantages to doing so. They pay a higher price than they would on aftermarket parts. They may be paying that higher price for lower quality parts. They also may have to go through a dealer or wait a long time to get those parts to their own mechanic. So, you can wait longer, pay more, and get lower quality parts when you choose to use OEM parts instead of aftermarket ones. Probably the biggest one of the disadvantages of new OEM parts is price. In most cases, you will pay a higher price than you would for the same thing in aftermarket parts. In many cases you can pay 60% or higher for the same or similar part. That markup helps dealers make their profit margins. That is one reason why many insurance companies will demand collision repair shops use aftermarket parts on repairs instead of OEM. If you have a new car accident, it is important to requ...

You can see the advantages of aftermarket parts. The first major advantage is cost. Many OEM products can cost significantly more than their aftermarket counterparts do. OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. This company manufactured the original truck such as Tatra or Scania. You usually pay 60% or more for an OEM product over the aftermarket counterpart. If you want to save money when making an automobile repair, it is best to use aftermarket parts to keep the cost down. Another of the significant advantages of aftermarket parts is availability. One of the biggest problems with OEM parts is that you have to order them through a dealership. This limits the places where you can get work done. If you can find a mechanic that is willing to order the OEM parts, you often have to wait days or even weeks to get the parts delivered. With aftermarket products you can find them on the shelves of just about any auto parts store or gas station in your area. You can also find a wi...
