Genuine Cummins PARTS

Quality Genuine parts from CUMMINS.

Why choose Genuine Cummins Parts?

Genuine Quality Hides Beath the Surface.

Many competitive part manufacturers try to reverse-engineer Cummins parts and build something that fits like an original part at a cheaper price.  The problem is, these will-fit parts don’t meet critical specifications from either a dimensional or materials standpoint.  When it comes to performance fuel economy, reliability and durability, microns matter and so do the metals used in your components.  The potential cost factors rise in direct proportion to the size of the engine and the loss of equipment efficiency.  The operation of equipment in remote regions can result in logistical challenges that add significant costs and impact productivity.  Genuine Cummins Parts provide unmatched quality to ensure that your operation keeps running in a world that’s Always On

Less Downtime. More Value.

Buying a genuine Cummins part, gets you more value with less downtime and less risk of failure.

Sometimes it can be hard to see the difference between Genuine Cummins Parts and non-genuine parts. Non-genuine parts may fit a Cummins Product, but they aren’t built or re-manufactured using the same procedures or materials to Cummins’s exact specifications.

Relying on Genuine Cummins Parts is the best way to ensure the long life of your engine. Here’s why:

Leave All Doubt at the LAB.

Recently, Cummins tested 237 non-genuine components for 19L and above engines including pistons, rings, valves, cylinder liners, connecting rods and pins, as well as even smaller items such as springs and retaining clips.  The results were eye-opening, to say the least.  Of the 237 parts tested, not a single component met Cummins specifications. 

The Potential For Failure is Magnified.

Here, part by part, are specific examples of the quality issues in materials, design and manufacturing as well as the probable problems that would result.

All Risk. No Reward.

Using non-genuine parts does more than compromise the performance of your high-horsepower engine.  It jeopardizes your business and makes it hard to meet customer expectations.  The miniscule amount you save upfront using non-genuine parts down the road.  When your profitability and reputation count on it, use Genuine Cummins Parts to assure continuous performance in a world that’s Always On. 

Non – Genuine Parts have NO Business in your Equipment.

The results from the lab show there’s a significant risk to using non-genuine parts.  But the real cost of buying a cheaper will-fit components is the business cost that you incur from lost productivity due to equipment downtime and decreased performance.  These include increased operating costs from using more fuel due to compromised combustion, productivity losses when power output is diminished and cycle times increase.  Then there’s the cost of downtime.  You ‘re going to spend significantly more on parts and labor to repair your engine, plus you are going to lose hours and potentially days of production.  Whether it’s an excavator in a mine, a train blocking an important trunk line or an entire building losing electrical power, it’s a disruption you can’t afford in a world that’s Always On. 

Not to mention the reduction in resale value when you go to sell that piece of equipment and the prospective buyer looks at its maintenance record. 

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Using non-genuine parts does more than compromise the performance of your high-horsepower engine. It jeopardizes your business and makes it hard to meet customer expectations. Genuine Cummins Parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring financial protection and peace of mind. The amount you save upfront using nongenuine parts is likely to cost you a lot more further down the road. When your profitability and reputation count on it, use Genuine Cummins Parts to ensure continuous performance in a world that’s Always On.

Here, part by part, are specific examples of the quality issues in materials, design and manufacturing as well as the probable problems that would result.
Part Issue Damage| Performance Ipact
Pistons
Shallow ring grooves Ring breakage, high oil consumption, blowby, scuffing
Out-of-spec bowl dimentions Excess heat, cracking, high fuel consumption, visible smoke
Debonding of rings carriers Catastrophic engine failure
Piston Rings
Out-of-spec ring angles Insufficient sealing, excess fuel usage, decreased performance
Incorrect size of oil ring (too thick) Poor oil scraping, excessive oil consumption
Incorrect size of top ring (too thin) Excess rotation, poor sealing, increased blowby
Piston Pins
Missing from some kits Repair delays, downtime, extra cost
Out-of-spec outer diameters Incorrect fit issues, repair delays
Intergranular oxidation Manufacturing defect, increased potential for premature fatigue and cracking
Cylinder Liners
Oversize outer diameters Radial stress leading to metal fatigue
Insufficient lower outer diameters Liner rocking and fretting
Oversize inner diameters Cavitation leading to pitting, coolant leaks and mission-disabling failure
Improper cross-hatching Compromised lubrication, increased wear, higher blowby and oil consumption, decreased service life
Excess crystals in liner coating Poor coating adhesion
Insufficient metal strength Premature wear, potential failure
Valve Springs
Below spec for hardness Degraded performance over time
