3 Benefits Of A Remanufactured Caterpillar ECM

Most first-time buyers may not know about the price range of an ECM and whether they should invest in a new, used, or remanufactured ECM.

With Caterpillar, ECM’s buyers always want one that meets their engine’s requirements and can match all sorts of road and weather conditions. You want your ECM to last and not give up on you when you least expect it.

A remanufactured Caterpillar ECM can give you all of these benefits and much more. Read on to find out how:

Highest Value For Money:

A mint-condition new Caterpillar ECM is going to put a big dent in your pocket, especially if you’re on a restrictive budget for truck or equipment parts. New Caterpillar ECM components are also “blank,” which means they do not come pre-programmed or calibrated.

A new Caterpillar C15 ECM may set you back around $3,000. And you may already have spent hundreds of dollars to replace and examine other parts to find that the root of the problem was a malfunctioning ECM.

A remanufactured Caterpillar ECM costs around 25-50% less than a new one and includes calibrating and programming. As a result, all you have to do is plug it in before you use it, without worrying about additional fees or taxes.

A second-hand ECM costs even less than a remanufactured one, but it may have been exposed to the same conditions that led your original module to become defective. Moreover, a used ECM has a higher chance of failure, and when it inevitably does, you’ll have to spend more money buying a remanufactured one.

Availability:

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a brand new Caterpillar ECM that exactly matches your engine’s code and calibration. It becomes even more challenging if you bought your machine more than a few years ago.

Manufacturers may not continue producing the same parts 6-10 years after introducing them. Moreover, new laws may make it more expensive to maintain older engines.

With a remanufactured ECM, you’ll find that the one you need is always available. Remanufacturers allow you to keep your powerful engines running with older engine components.

Higher Quality:

The remanufacturing process for an ECM follows strict technical specifications and quality standards to ensure that the control module gives a long service life. The detailed process involves various components that are sourced from original manufacturers and can withstand the harsh conditions of heavy-duty equipment and trucks.
