The brand name for factory remanufactured parts.
Not rebuilt, but completely remanufactured to original BluePrint specifications.
Philosophy
The objective in remanufacturing is to return the parts or complete engine to new specifications and upgrade it with the latest engineering changes… a big difference from the rebuilder’s objective of making a component work again.

- Upgraded with critical design improvements
Component Cleaning Edge

Shot blasting consists of attacking the surface of a material with one of many types of shots. Normally this is done to remove something on the surface such as scale, but it is also done sometimes to impart a particular surface to the object being shot blasted. The shot can be sand, small steel balls of various diameters, granules of silicon carbide, etc. The device that throws the shot is either a large air gun or spinning paddles which hurl the shot off their blades. |

Information Edge
reliabilt Parts – Full access to factory blueprints, change notices, and material specifications.
Other "Rebuilt" Parts – Limited access to proprietary specifications.
Remanufacturing Edge
- Spray Welding is a remanufacturing process in which molten/powered metal is sprayed onto metal surfaces to bring them to new specifications.
- Updates are the beauty of hindsight, where field experienced parts are brought to the latest design level.
- Conversions allows DDC to have an easy core acceptance because they can take parts, such as shared castings, that are no longer current and remanufacture them to the latest blueprint specifications.
