Used Diesel Engines in Houston, TX — VIN-Verified.
Powerstroke, Duramax & Cummins — VIN-verified, tested diesels for Houston trucks, shipped right the first time. 0% restocking, ever.
Serving Houston, Pasadena and the surrounding metro with VIN-verified drivetrain parts.

Ultra Auto Parts TX is Houston's drivetrain specialist for used and remanufactured diesel engines, serving Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, La Porte, Channelview and the wider Gulf Coast truck market from our shop at 5041 Spencer Hwy, Ste 101, Pasadena, TX 77505. In a region built on work trucks, fleets and towing, we focus on the three diesel platforms Texans actually run — Ford Power Stroke, GM Duramax and Dodge/Ram Cummins — and match every long block or complete engine to your exact VIN before it ships. Unlike a general salvage yard, we treat diesels as core drivetrain, not random inventory. Every used diesel engine is VIN-verified against your truck's year, cab and emissions configuration, then inspected and tested before we quote a firm price. We speak English and Spanish, respond within 10 minutes during business hours, and back every diesel with a real warranty — so Houston owner-operators and shops buy with confidence.
Why buy a quality used diesel engines?
A diesel is the most expensive component in the truck, and a proper machine-shop overhaul often runs $8,000–$15,000+ once you add gaskets, injectors, machine work and labor. A quality tested used engine or a reman built to OEM spec gets you back on the road faster, at a fraction of that cost, with a warranty covering the assembly — not a shop's one-off labor guarantee. For a work truck losing money every day it's down, verified used or reman is usually the smarter math.
Common signs you need a replacement
We know these platforms cold: 6.0L Power Stroke head-gasket and stretched-head-bolt failures, EGR and oil-cooler issues; 6.4L Power Stroke cracked pistons; LB7 Duramax injector failures and later LLY overheating; Cummins 5.9L (12v/24v) VP44 and lift-pump issues, 6.7L DPF/EGR and injector wear; and high-mileage blowby on all three. We inspect for exactly these before quoting.

Fitment Flags We Check
- Year-specific emissions hardware (EGR/DPF/SCR) must match your truck
- Long block vs complete drop-in engine — confirm what's included
- VIN 8th-digit engine code identifies the exact diesel variant
- Cab & chassis vs pickup accessories and oil-pan/turbo differences
- Automatic vs manual transmission flexplate/flywheel and sensors
- California vs federal (49-state) emissions calibration
Diesel drivetrain is our specialty — alongside engines we also supply matched heavy-duty transmissions (Allison, TorqShift, 68RFE, ZF), transfer cases and Dana/AAM axles for the same trucks.
What to send for an exact quote
- VIN (best — locks exact fitment)
- Year/make/model (F-250/2500/3500, Silverado/Sierra HD, Ram HD)
- Engine (Power Stroke/Duramax/Cummins + displacement)
- Cab type (regular/extended/crew, pickup or cab-&-chassis)
- Mileage expectation and used vs. reman preference
Every used diesel engine carries a standard 6-month warranty, extendable up to 3 years on tiered/reman options. And we charge a 0% restocking fee on all returns — no penalty for making it right.
Diesel engines are heavy freight — local Houston-area delivery is free with our own drivers, while regional and out-of-state moves ship by freight at exact or quoted cost; we confirm the timing before we promise it.

Do you handle 6.0L Power Stroke and other known diesel problem engines?
Yes, and we're honest about them. We inspect for the exact known failures — 6.0L Power Stroke head gaskets and EGR/oil coolers, 6.4L cracked pistons, LB7 Duramax injectors, Cummins lift-pump and DPF issues — before we quote. We tell you the engine's real condition instead of selling blind.
What warranty comes with a used diesel engine?
A standard 6-month warranty on used diesel engines, extendable up to 3 years with tiered and remanufactured options built to OEM spec. That covers the engine assembly, so a work truck is protected well beyond the drive home.
Is there a restocking fee if the diesel engine doesn't work out?
No. Ultra Auto Parts TX charges a 0% restocking fee on all returns — ever. If something isn't right, we make it right and expedite the correct engine fast, with no return penalty stacked on top.
How do you confirm the diesel engine fits my truck?
We match by VIN, using the 8th-digit engine code, your year and cab type, and — critically for diesels — your emissions year (EGR/DPF/SCR) and federal vs. California calibration. Send your VIN and we verify fitment before quoting.

How much does a used diesel engine cost in Houston, TX?
Used diesel engines run higher than gas engines and vary widely by platform — a 7.3 Power Stroke, 6.6 Duramax, or 5.9/6.7 Cummins each price differently depending on year, emissions configuration, and used vs. remanufactured. We never guess on price: send your VIN to 281-436-9991 and we'll give you an honest range the same day.
Do you sell used 7.3 Power Stroke, 6.6 Duramax, and 5.9/6.7 Cummins engines?
Yes. We carry used and remanufactured Ford Power Stroke (7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L, 6.7L), GM 6.6L Duramax, and Dodge/Ram Cummins (5.9L, 6.7L) diesels — all VIN-verified and matched by emissions year so the engine fits your truck's exact configuration. Send your VIN for the correct unit and a real quote.
What's considered high mileage for a diesel — and how long do they last?
Diesels are built to run far longer than gas engines — many 7.3 Power Stroke, Cummins, and Duramax trucks reach 300,000–500,000 miles with maintenance. What matters more than the odometer is condition: we verify compression, the fuel system, and the turbo before we quote, so you buy on proven condition, not just a number.
Does the diesel engine come with the turbo, injectors, and fuel system?
It depends on the unit — some ship as a long block and others more complete/dressed. We confirm exactly what's included (turbo, injectors, HPFP, etc.) before you buy and match it by VIN so it fits your truck's configuration. Ask us and we'll spell out what comes on your engine.
Is the core charge higher on a diesel engine?
If a core charge applies it's stated clearly on your quote up front — never a surprise — and it's fully refundable when you return your old unit. Every order also carries a 0% restocking fee, so there's no penalty risk.
Is the diesel engine compression-tested before it ships?
Yes. Diesels get compression and leak-down checks, and we inspect the injectors, turbo, and fuel system before the engine leaves our Pasadena shop — specialist testing that protects you on a high-ticket diesel. Every unit is VIN-verified and warrantied.
Long block vs. complete/dressed diesel engine — what's included?
A long block is the block, heads, and rotating assembly; a complete/dressed engine adds bolt-on components like the turbo, injectors, and accessories. We confirm exactly what's included on your unit before you buy so nothing surprises you at install — just send your VIN.
How is a heavy diesel engine shipped, and what does freight cost?
Diesel engines ship on a pallet by freight, with free local delivery across the Houston area using our own drivers. Freight cost for out-of-town depends on your location — send your VIN and ZIP to 281-436-9991 and we'll confirm the exact shipping cost and timing.
