Anyone who has spent time fixing up vehicles is probably more than a little familiar with salvage yards. There are a lot of salvage yards scattered across North America and right here in Alberta, so it is not hard to find one locally. Depending on the part you are looking for there can be some real bargains to be had when comparing to the price of a brand-new OEM part. In many cases the parts are still in good working order and depending on the reason the vehicle ended up as salvage, some may be in excellent condition. There are some things to consider before heading out with a set of wrenches to secure yourself a replacement part for your vehicle.
Unfortunately, if you are just pulling a part out of vehicle sitting in a field, you are not getting the knowledge or expertise from someone who specializes in repairing and maintaining your particular type of vehicle. There is a big difference between having found what you need and having an expert to consult with regarding the original issue that started you on the hunt. A little insight can go a long way, especially when it comes to knowing if the parts, you are sourcing are going to be what you need to get the job done – something that is especially true when it comes to Cummins diesel engines.
