POWERTRAIN INTEGRATION SERVICE TOOLS ARE DIVIDED UP INTO THE FOLLOWING THREE
CATEGORIES.
REQUIRED - These tools should be purchased by Authorized Service Providers as a minimum to perform basic
common repairs in a timely fashion.
AS NEEDED - These tools are not commonly needed, but are required to do certain repairs without causing
damage. They should be purchased “as needed”.
AS NEEDED LOANERS - These tools are not commonly needed and have purchase costs which are prohibitive
for most dealers to justify. In this case Service providers may request Loaner Tools by visiting the parts ordering
portal at service.powertrainintegration.com or by calling 844-PI-POWER (747-6937). The service provider orders
the tool just like a regular purchase, paying a deposit equal to the list price of the Loaner Tool along with shipping
costs. Once the Loaner Tool is received back at Powertrain Integration in undamaged condition, the deposit
amount will be refunded to the service provider.
OPTIONAL - These tools are not required to do the job but make it easier.
NOTE: Any damage caused by not using approved Special Tools is not warrantable by Powertrain
Integration or CleanFuel USA. Prices are subject to change without notice.
