Frequently Asked Questions

Use the Get a Quote in Seconds form or call 800-731-3177 (press 1 for Sales). Have your 17-digit VIN ready — a Fraser powertrain specialist verifies fitment against it and sends an all-in quote with price, warranty, shipping and core terms, usually within minutes during business hours.

Two ways: order online 24/7 from any product page (online orders waive the $250 MOTO fee), or call 800-731-3177 Mon–Fri 8AM–5PM EST and order with a Product Specialist. Either way, a specialist confirms your VIN, build option, warranty selections, shipping address and core terms before your order is processed.

Yes. Fraser product pages have a Place Order Online button that takes you to a secure checkout, open 24/7. Orders placed online skip the $250 MOTO (mail-order / telephone-order) fee. If you prefer, you can still order by phone.

All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, e-checks (with phone verification), ACH / wire transfers, paper checks and money orders. Cash purchases are available for Michigan customers picking up in person.

No worries. Fraser quotes list each build option (Standard, Fraser Advantage™, Fully Loaded), what’s included, warranty, shipping and core in plain language. Show it to your mechanic or installer and ask which option they recommend for your vehicle, or call 800-731-3177 and a specialist will walk you through it line by line.

Yes. Repair shops, fleets and installers can access the wholesale pricing catalog, sign up as a wholesaler and join the Certified Installer Program.

Submit an Order Cancellation Request or an Engine Swap Request as soon as possible — before the unit ships is best. Terms are in the Terms Agreement.

On most Fraser engines, no — there is no upfront core charge. You receive the engine, install it, and return your old engine (the core) in the same crate. Where a refundable core deposit does apply, it is listed as a separate line on your quote (for example, Engine $3,499 + Core $500 = $3,999) and refunded automatically once the core is checked in.

Once your Fraser engine or transmission is installed, put the old unit back in the shipping container we provided and schedule a core return (or call us). Pickup is free from any commercial address in the continental U.S. When the core is checked in, any deposit is refunded automatically — you don’t have to call and ask.

Your old engine is the raw material for the next remanufactured engine. Waiving cores as a marketing gimmick has put several remanufacturers out of business; a core policy keeps Fraser financially stable and able to honor a 5-year warranty. Read more on Why Choose Fraser.

Return the core within the deadline stated on your order (typically 30 days after delivery). Cores must be complete, the same engine family as the unit purchased, and returned in the original crate. If you can’t return a core, ask about the core waiver.

A rebuilt engine is a used engine refurbished — often only the failed part replaced, with many used parts still inside, to standards that vary by shop. A Fraser remanufactured engine is completely disassembled to the bare block, cleaned, magnafluxed, pressure-tested and CNC-machined, then rebuilt with new pistons, rings, bearings, timing components, gaskets and seals — a zero-mile engine. Fraser Advantage™ builds add every applicable OEM and aftermarket TSB update.

Fraser’s premium build level: a remanufactured and upgraded block, updated cylinder heads, new internals, oil pump and all major OEM & aftermarket Technical Service Bulletin updates applied so the known weak points of that engine family are corrected. It carries a 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile warranty plus 1 year of free No-Fault. Fully Loaded versions add the oil pan, timing cover, valve covers and valley cover. See The Fraser Advantage™.

Every product page lists exactly what’s included per option — typically a long block with remanufactured block and heads, new pistons, rings, bearings, timing components, gaskets and seals, and the oil pump on most builds. Gaskets sets, covers, pans, sensors, injectors, turbos and other accessories are included only when listed. Check the red tag on the crate and your written order.

Fraser verifies every order against your full 17-digit VIN — engine code, emissions package, transmission pairing and mid-year production changes — before it ships. Year / make / model alone isn’t enough (a 5.4L 2V and 3V, or a 5.3L L83 and L84, are different engines). Use the free VIN decoder to see your engine code.

Every Fraser engine and transmission is thoroughly SIM tested. Units are built on an assembly line 50–100 at a time; a sample of each run is dyno tested to obtain spec data while the rest are SIM and spin tested to verify oil pressure, compression and sealing before crating.

No — the gold color on product images is for emphasis only. Engines ship in their natural cast / machined finish.

Yes, for select GM 5.3L / 6.2L and Chrysler HEMI applications. Delete builds require a compatible tuner / calibration that the customer supplies, and they are intended for off-road, racing or non-emissions-controlled use where permitted by law — they may not be legal on pollution-controlled vehicles in California. Details are on each product page.

Yes. Fraser remanufactures automatic and manual transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, diesel engines (Cummins, Duramax, Power Stroke), cylinder heads, turbochargers and high-performance crate engines.

Fraser offers certified used / refurbished engines for some applications, but for a vehicle you plan to keep we recommend a remanufactured engine with a multi-year parts & labor warranty.
