Question 3

What are the most common problems with the Caterpillar C13 12.5L engine?

Accepted Answer

The most common Caterpillar C13 12.5L engine problems are injector o-ring failures causing fuel leaks, heui pump failures affecting fuel delivery, turbocharger wastegate issues, cylinder liner pitting from coolant contamination.

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured Caterpillar C13 engine from US Engine Production comes with a comprehensive parts-and-labor warranty backed by over 40 years of remanufacturing experience. Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our process — every Caterpillar C13 12.5L engine is dyno tested before shipping to verify horsepower, torque, oil pressure, and overall performance.

Contact us at (631) 991-7700 for specific warranty details for your 2011 Kenworth T800.

Question 5

How long does a remanufactured Caterpillar C13 engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured Caterpillar C13 engine typically lasts 200,000 to 500,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured Caterpillar C13 12.5L depends on regular oil changes, proper cooling system maintenance, using the correct fuel and fluids, and following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Our remanufactured long blocks are built to OEM specifications using all-new internal components, which is why they deliver the same service life as a factory-new engine.

Question 6

Is a remanufactured Caterpillar C13 better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured Caterpillar C13 is significantly better than a used or rebuilt engine because every component is replaced or restored to OEM specifications. A used engine has unknown history and remaining life. A rebuilt engine only replaces worn-out parts. Our remanufactured Caterpillar C13 12.5L engines are completely disassembled down to the bare block, every component is cleaned and inspected, and all wear items are replaced with new parts — including pistons, bearings, gaskets, seals, timing components, and the oil pump. The engine block and crankshaft are precision machined to factory tolerances, delivering better reliability, longer life, and a stronger warranty than used or rebuilt alternatives.

Question 7

Will a remanufactured Caterpillar C13 fit my 2011 Kenworth T800?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured Caterpillar C13 long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 2011 Kenworth T800. We match the engine to your specific year, make, model, and configuration to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's emissions systems (EGR, DPF, SCR/DEF), engine management computer, wiring harness, and mounting points. When you call us at (631) 991-7700, our specialists will verify the exact engine configuration for your 2011 Kenworth T800 using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old Caterpillar C13 engine core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core return is required when purchasing a remanufactured Caterpillar C13 long block engine. A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old Caterpillar C13 12.5L engine in rebuildable condition. We make the core return process easy and hassle-free. The core return program helps us keep remanufactured engine prices affordable by recycling engine blocks and other reusable components. Your old engine core should be complete and not have any cracked or damaged major castings.
