Shopping for Your Diesel Engines
Although they're not nearly as popular in today's marketplace, diesel engines are still found on the roadways in abundance. Most of the big trucks out there, used for work, to haul supplies and to build, run on diesel fuel, and thus the actual engine is different from a gasoline engine. If you need a new diesel engine for your truck, even the lowest price tag for a new one can easily be more than the truck's worth. At Automotix LKQ and our Auto Parts Store, we provide the lowest prices on the highest-quality diesel engines in the world.
The Make-Up of a Diesel
Diesel engines are a little bit different from their gas-driven counterparts. Both diesel and gas engines are combustion engines, meaning that they're powered by small explosions caused from the fuel being ignited. This then forces the piston up and down and creates motion which drives your automobile.
The difference in a diesel engine is that, instead of the ignition happening first before the air intake, the air is injected first, compressed and superheated, and then the fuel ignites. This allows diesel engines to be 25% more fuel efficient, since its using more fuel for an energy source, unlike gas engines that end up transforming most of the gas to useless heat.
Both varieties of engine use the same four-stroke cycle: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. The main difference is that there's no spark plugs needed in diesel - they use air. This also makes diesel engines more cost-effective; less parts to go bad and thus fewer repairs to handle. Diesel fuel is also heavier - almost an oil. But they're both still susceptible to catastrophe and will have to be replaced.
Finding Your Diesel with Us
Automotix is a breath of fresh air in this thick and stale financial climate. Most of our competitors in the industry continue to overcharge customers for underperforming parts. Our goal is to break this tradition and offer high quality at affordable prices. Usually, this would mean sacrificing on quality, but our process for securing the best diesel engines is ahead of the game, and thus allows us to lower our prices significantly without sacrificing on the quality you expect and deserve.
We do this by dealing strictly in OEM used diesel engines. With over 200 salvage yards, we're able to take trucks that have been brought in for non-engine-related issues and remove the motors, have our engineers and mechanics fine-tune and clean them, and then store them until you're ready for a purchase. This makes it simple for you to get whatever diesel engine you need in a hurry and without breaking the bank.
What are the advantages of an OEM part? Well, if you're looking to make pain-free, lasting repairs, OEM is the only way to go. It stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and when you get an OEM part, you know that you're receiving the exact same part that you're replacing. This means that fit and functionality are guaranteed. And to ensure that our used parts meet your high standards, we attach our superior warranty and low price guarantee to every one.
You won't have to deal with insurance companies or suppliers looking to overcharge you for the diesel engines you need. Instead, you can go straight to the source, find the engine on your own, and pay a low price.
Finding Parts with our Search Engine
At Automotix, we've specifically designed our site to make it easy for you to search for diesel engines.
