Reconditioning vs Replacement

When your diesel engine starts misfiring, losing power, or guzzling fuel, faulty injectors are often the culprit. But should you replace them with brand-new units or opt for reconditioning? At Diesel Injector Pro, we specialize in both solutions — and we’re here to help you make the right choice.

What Is Diesel Injector Reconditioning?

Reconditioning involves restoring used injectors to like-new condition through:

• Ultrasonic cleaning
• Seal replacement
• Flow testing and calibration
• Coding (where applicable)

Reconditioned injectors are tested to meet OEM specifications and come with a 12-month warranty.

What Is Injector Replacement?

Replacement means purchasing brand-new injectors directly from the manufacturer or authorized distributor. While they offer guaranteed performance, they often come at a significantly higher cost.
