IPD Launches New Product Line
for Cummins Engines

IPD announced recently the launch of their new product line of replacement parts the Cummins® ISX and QSX on highway and industrial diesel engines. The initial offering will include components for in-frame rebuild, pistons, cylinder liners, bearings and gaskets kits as well as valve train rebuild parts. Within the past year, IPD has substantially expanded their product line coverage and has plans for continued development.

“As IPD grows our business, adding the Cummins® ISX engine was a natural progression for our on highway truck offering. IPD has a long history of experience working in the Caterpillar® on highway truck market with engine models such as 3406, C12 and C15, along with many others. This experience has laid the foundation to expand our on highway coverage to one of the more popular engine models in this market.” stated Bob Straw, vice president of sales and marketing, IPD. “Also, with IPD’s roots in industrial applications adding the QSX engine with its many similarities to the ISX made perfect sense to include in our offering as well”, continued Mr. Straw.

This product line will feature an aftermarket industry first, one piece steel pistons in both open and closed skirt designs. These new pistons will utilize IPD’s patent pending technology of manufacturing one piece steel pistons from a high strength alloy and heat-treated steel casting. This process was introduced into their product line in 2003 and has been successfully and extensively tested.

“IPD is excited to offer this new product line as we receive frequent request from distributors for quality parts for these models” stated Steve Scott, director of Product Development, IPD. “Additionally being able to provide one piece steel piston gives customers the opportunity to purchase reliable quality parts at discounted prices which is exactly what the market is demanding”, continues Mr. Scott.

IPD anticipates high demand for this new product line and has increased production capacity for all parts and components.
