SHIPPING POLICY

Tamerx Diesel Products ships via UPS Ground. Next day air shipping can be arranged for a reasonable price of anywhere from $50.00 - $100.00 depending on the weight of the product and your location. We will do everything we can to make sure that you get the service you need. We understand how important it is to receive your order as quickly as possible.
In most cases Tamerx Diesel Products only needs one address, as long as your product is shipping to the same location as your billing information. In order to eliminate credit card fraud, your billing information must match the credit card you provide.

The terms, conditions, and details of our warranty vary from product to product. Specific warranty details can be found below.

Tamerx Diesel Products provides a replacement warranty on all of our parts. The duration and mileage limitations of the warranty vary by product and are specified on the product's detail page/item listing.

Please note that the warranty covers replacement of the part and the cost of shipping the replacement part to you only. It does not cover any shop, labor, towing, or any similar or related costs. This is not a "money back guarantee".

If you experience a problem with your part or it is not functioning properly, the correct warranty procedure is to call us at (510) 257-1777 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday). Be sure to have your order number and/or other relevant order information ready so we can easily locate your order and resolve your issue as quickly as possible. From that point, we will review with you any troubleshooting steps that may need to be taken and other areas or systems that can be checked to rule out external problems contributing to your part's issue. If a replacement is determined to be necessary, we will then arrange for your replacement part to ship out ASAP and issue any necessary return shipping labels and/or documents.

As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.

What is a Core Charge?

A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.

30 Day Core Charge Hold

You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.

Engine systems rely heavily on accurate sensor data to run smoothly — and the Caterpillar C10, C11, C12, C13 Sensor GP-SP (OEM 2016615) plays an important role in keeping things working as designed. This general-purpose sensor is crafted for use on Caterpillar C10 through C13 engines and provides the control system with crucial data needed for optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Installing an OEM-grade sensor ensures your engine receives reliable feedback for regulation and diagnostics.

This sensor supports essential engine monitoring and stability — here’s why it matters:

  • Accurate System Monitoring – Measures critical parameters (such as speed, position, pressure, or other values depending on configuration) and delivers precise data to the engine control unit for correct operation.

  • Maintains Proper Engine Timing and Control – With precise feedback, the system can regulate fuel delivery, combustion timing, and other vital functions to ensure smooth engine performance.

  • OEM-Standard Fit and Compatibility – As OEM 2016615, this sensor matches original manufacturer specifications, guaranteeing proper fitment and consistent performance under operating stress.

  • Enhances Engine Reliability – A functioning, accurate sensor helps prevent issues like misfires, irregular idling, unstable power output, or unnecessary wear.

  • Improves Diagnostic Accuracy – Quality sensor data reduces false diagnostic codes or warnings, simplifying maintenance and ensuring accurate troubleshooting.

Replacing a worn or faulty sensor is crucial to maintaining the health and performance of your engine. The Caterpillar C10/C11/C12/C13 Sensor GP-SP (OEM 2016615) delivers the dependable, OEM-grade monitoring necessary for stable engine control, efficient operation, and long-term reliability. For customers seeking a trusted replacement, Tamerx supplies high-quality parts engineered for heavy-duty use and designed to keep engines running smoothly and confidently.

A Sensor GP-SP (General Purpose – Speed or Specific Parameter Sensor) provides critical data to the engine control module (ECM) or related systems. When this sensor fails, the vehicle may experience performance issues, inaccurate readings, or even safety-related warnings. Understanding what happens when a Sensor GP-SP fails helps operators address problems early and avoid unnecessary downtime.

Effects of a Failing Sensor GP-SP

  • Incorrect or Erratic System Readings
    The ECM may receive faulty data, causing speed, position, or system parameter readings to fluctuate or become inaccurate.

  • Warning Lights on the Dashboard
    A failed Sensor GP-SP often triggers a check engine light, ABS warning, or other system alerts depending on its function.

  • Poor Engine or System Performance
    Incorrect sensor input can result in reduced power, hesitation, rough operation, or unpredictable system behavior.

  • Transmission or Control System Issues
    If the Sensor GP-SP supplies data to the transmission, its failure may cause harsh shifting, delayed shifts, or gear-related faults.

  • Loss of Stability or Traction Control Accuracy
    Some GP-SP sensors contribute to traction or stability systems; failure may reduce the effectiveness of these safety features.

  • Reduced Fuel Efficiency
    Faulty data may cause the ECM to adjust fuel delivery incorrectly, leading to increased fuel consumption.

When a Sensor GP-SP fails, it can disrupt multiple vehicle systems, from engine performance to safety controls. Recognizing the signs early and performing proper diagnostics will help restore reliable operation and prevent more serious issues. Regular inspections and electrical maintenance can also reduce the risk of sensor failure.

If the issue was caused by a bad sensor, yes — but if the problem lies elsewhere (wiring, ECU, mechanical issues), sensor replacement alone may not resolve it.

Monitor gauge or parameter readings, check for error codes, test engine performance under idle and load, and confirm there are no leaks or misbehavior.

It should be checked during regular maintenance intervals — especially when the engine exhibits unusual symptoms, after heavy use, or during component servicing.

Yes — if the engine control module doesn’t receive valid sensor data, it may trigger protective measures like derate or shutdown to prevent damage.
