Question 5

How long does a remanufactured General Motors L18 engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured General Motors L18 engine typically lasts 150,000 to 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured General Motors L18 8.1L 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 General Motors L18 better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured General Motors L18 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 General Motors L18 8.1L 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 General Motors L18 fit my 2005 GMC C7500 Topkick?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured General Motors L18 long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 2005 GMC C7500 Topkick. We match the engine to your specific year, make, model, and configuration to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's computer, wiring harness, emissions equipment, and mounting points. When you call us at (631) 991-7700, our specialists will verify the exact engine configuration for your 2005 GMC C7500 Topkick using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old General Motors L18 engine core?

Accepted Answer

A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old General Motors L18 8.1L engine in rebuildable condition. We provide a prepaid shipping label to 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.
