The Genuine Cummins Difference

There’s a genuine difference in the performance, reliability, durability and value of engine parts. That’s why it always pays to go with the best. The Genuine Cummins Parts that you buy from a Cummins distributor or authorized dealer are built to our exact standards, meeting or exceeding original specifications.

Genuine vs. non-genuine parts

The difference between a Genuine Cummins Part and a non-genuine part isn’t always easy to see. It can be something as small as a ring gap that’s a couple of millimeters too wide on a non-genuine part. In a Cummins engine, that small difference could result in less power, insufficient lubrication, poor fuel economy, premature wear and even catastrophic engine failure.

Non-genuine parts put to the test

Cummins engineers conducted lab analysis and destructive testing on over 300 non-genuine overhaul kit components for Cummins on-highway engines, including pistons, piston rings, piston pins, cylinder liners, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, head gaskets and injectors. Of the over 300 non-genuine parts tested, none met all of Cummins' design specifications.

Part tested Dimensional testing Material testing
Piston FAILED FAILED
Oil ring FAILED FAILED
Retaining ring FAILED ADEQUATE
Piston pin FAILED FAILED
Cylinder liner FAILED FAILED
Connecting rod bearing FAILED FAILED
Main bearing FAILED FAILED
Thrust bearing FAILED FAILED
Cylinder head gasket FAILED FAILED
Injector FAILED FAILED


Of the over 300 non-genuine parts tested, none met all of Cummins' design specifications, and most failed in both the dimensional and material testing categories. Test results marked as “adequate” marginally met Cummins design intent, indicating that it loosely met some of Cummins' design specifications, but not all of them.
