Question 5

How long does a remanufactured Cummins 6BT5.9 engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured Cummins 6BT5.9 engine typically lasts 200,000 to 500,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured Cummins 6BT5.9 5.9L 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 Cummins 6BT5.9 better than a used or rebuilt engine?

A used engine has unknown history and remaining life. A rebuilt engine only replaces worn-out parts.

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.
