Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is essentially your car’s fingerprint. In its entirety, it is specific only to your car. Each car has its own unique VIN number and can be decoded to provide manufacturing and identification information on any vehicle on the road. Date of manufacture, manufacturer, vehicle type, where it was made, and options such as engine and transmission type, whether a car is a two or four-door, and a multitude of other specifications can be gleaned from a VIN number. Essentially, a VIN number will tell you exactly what a car is and where it came from, without even having to see the car.
Whether you drive a Chevy, Ford, or Ram diesel pickup, your engine is likely equipped with an injection pump.

At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we specialize in maintenance and repair on Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke engines, including injection pumps.
