Question 3

What are the most common problems with the PACCAR PX-8 8.3L engine?

Accepted Answer

The most common PACCAR PX-8 8.3L engine problems are fuel injector failures affecting performance, turbocharger wear and failures, egr system problems, glow plug failures in cold weather. These are well-documented failure points that affect many PACCAR PX-8 engines in service. Our remanufacturing process specifically addresses each of these known issues by using updated components, improved gaskets, and enhanced machining techniques.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 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 PACCAR PX-8 8.3L engine is dyno tested before shipping to verify horsepower, torque, oil pressure, and overall performance. Warranty terms may vary based on the specific application and whether the engine is for a commercial truck, pickup truck, or industrial application. Contact us at (631) 991-7700 for specific warranty details for your 2012 Peterbilt 348.

Question 5

How long does a remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 engine typically lasts 200,000 to 500,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 8.3L 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 PACCAR PX-8 better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 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 PACCAR PX-8 8.3L 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 PACCAR PX-8 fit my 2012 Peterbilt 348?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 2012 Peterbilt 348. 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 2012 Peterbilt 348 using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old PACCAR PX-8 engine core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core return is required when purchasing a remanufactured PACCAR PX-8 long block engine. A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old PACCAR PX-8 8.3L 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.
