What You're Looking At
This is a common-rail fuel injector for the Detroit DD13, DD15, and DD16 platforms - the ones running Bosch-sourced injection under Detroit's part number. It handles high-pressure fuel delivery straight into the cylinder, and when one goes bad you'll usually see a miss, rough idle, or a fault code pointing at cylinder-specific injector performance.
Detroit revised the casting and internals a few times over the life of these engines, which is why you'll see A4710700187 and A4720700887 both floating around parts counters. The 700887 is the newer number superseding 700187 - same physical fit, same engine coverage, just Detroit's way of tracking a design update.
These aren't a universal drop-in across every Detroit diesel - they're specific to DD13/DD15/DD16 common rail systems. Don't assume it crosses to a DD5 or an older MBE engine just because it's a Detroit.
How the Cross-Reference Works
The numbers in our cross-ref table - 4710700187, A4710700287, and the Bosch 0-445-120-195 / 0986435537 / 0986435642 numbers - all point back to the same Bosch injector core built for Detroit's spec. Bosch makes the injector, Detroit puts their own part number on the box, and that's normal in this industry - doesn't mean every reseller's box is identical inside.
Where you need to pay attention: injector coding. These are often flow-matched or coded per cylinder at the factory, so even with the right physical part number, some ECMs want you to input trim codes during install. Also check the tip and o-ring/seal package - Detroit sometimes bundles updated seals with a superseded injector, so the kit contents can differ even when the base injector number crosses clean.
Bottom line - pull the number stamped on the injector you're replacing, not just what the parts book says fits your engine. Confirm by VIN and by that physical number before you order. If two guys pull codes off two different DD15s in the same yard, don't be surprised if they don't match.
Ordering From PartStop
We're in Tacoma and keep DD13/DD15/DD16 injectors in stock because fleet guys running I-5 and the ports don't have time to wait on freight from the Midwest. Same-day pickup or same-day ship if you're not local - we move these out the door same day we get the order in before cutoff.
Every injector we sell carries our 6+ month warranty. If it doesn't perform, we deal with it - no arguing about whether it was 'installed wrong.' We just ask you to confirm the number before it goes in, since injectors aren't really a returnable item once they've seen fuel.
Call or email with your VIN or the number off the old injector and we'll confirm it's a direct replacement before you drop $630 on it. Cheaper to spend five minutes on the phone than to pull it back out.
A4720700887 Cross-Reference & Interchange Numbers
These manufacturer and aftermarket numbers commonly cross-reference to A4720700887. Use them to identify the part — then confirm the exact fit by VIN or the number stamped on your old unit before you order. An interchange is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
Does A4710700187 fit my DD15?
Likely, but confirm by VIN or the number stamped on your old injector first. A4710700187 covers a range of DD13/DD15/DD16 builds, but Detroit ran running changes on these engines, so don't order off engine model alone.
Is this the same as the Bosch 0986435537?
They cross-reference - Bosch built the injector core under both numbers - but confirm fitment against your old part number before ordering. Different resellers sometimes ship different seal kits with what's technically the same base injector.
Do I need to program or code this injector after install?
On a lot of DD13/DD15/DD16 setups, yes - injector trim codes get entered through the diagnostic tool during setup. Check your service info or have your shop confirm before you button it up.
