FEATURED PRODUCTS

Our product line for the 3500 series diesel and gas engines have many unique attributes that truly distinguishes us from our competition. Our patent pending one piece steel piston, valve train and gasket sets program play an important role in our product offering, and showcase IPD’s commitment to innovation and quality. The following section will discuss in further detail some of the distinct IPD product customization, value and quality.

IPD…INNOVATION, NOT IMITATION

IPD is proud to feature our one piece steel piston, which utilizes our IPDSteel™patent pending technology for our 3500 series product line. Each piston is manufactured from the high strength alloy and heat treated steel casting process which has been extensively tested and successfully proven in the 3500 series applications.

These one piece steel pistons also showcase another way that IPD truly sets the bar for innovation. In comparison to most aftermarket companies, who solely reengineer products from the originating company, IPD stands apart. In partnering with our customers worldwide, IPD has enhanced upon the original design in efforts to create a better product.

Oil Gallery Retention Plate

The IPDSteel™ one piece piston features new design enhancements made possible by IPD’s patent pending one piece oil gallery retention plate. In order to prevent the piston from experiencing extreme thermal loading as seen in other products in the market place, this innovative one piece design limits plate movement and secures the oil gallery retention plate firmly in place as seen in example below.
