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.

The customer, or parts buyer, is responsible for any shipping costs associated with core returns unless otherwise specified in the product listing/detail page. Tamerx Diesel Products offers prepaid UPS shipping labels (SKU numbers UPS-CR1 and UPS-CR2) for use in returning your core that are available for purchase on our website during your shopping/order process.

The shipping label you will need to use for the core return is dependent upon what part you are purchasing. UPS-CR1 is good for cores weighing up to 20 pounds. UPS-CR2 is appropriate for shipping cores weighing 21 pounds or more. You must include enough information with the core return that clearly identifies it as a.) a Core Return, and b.) contains enough information we can use to clearly associate the core return with your order. Including a copy of the invoice or packing slip that came with the original shipment, clearly marked "Core Return", is ideal. Alternately, you can include a note marked as "Core Return" that includes your order number, full name and address, and phone number or other contact information. Failure to include this information with your returned core will most likely delay any due core credit being issued and/or delay any applicable warranty activation. Core returns need to be for the exact part purchased and cannot be damaged. Substituting another part in place of the part you have purchased is not acceptable.

All fluids must be drained.

If you have purchased a set or a parts package, you will need to return cores for all components of the set. For example, if you have purchaed a high pressure oil pump with an IPR valve, you will need to return both HPOP and IPR valve cores to receive proper credit. If you have purchased an EGR cooler/EGR valve package, your core return must consist of an EGR cooler core and an EGR valve core, or core credit will not be given.

Core Charges are often mandated by state legislature, and, as such, the actual core charge and taxes on the charge may vary depending on the state in which you buy your part. The Tamerx Diesel Products core charge presented to you online today with your item is representative of the most common core charge.

Fuel injectors are essential components of your vehicle's engine, responsible for delivering precise amounts of fuel for efficient combustion. However, various factors can cause fuel injectors to fail over time, leading to engine problems like rough idling, poor fuel efficiency, and misfires. Understanding what causes fuel injectors to fail can help you take preventive measures and keep your engine running smoothly. Here are some of the main reasons fuel injectors may fail.

  • Clogging and Carbon Buildup

    • Over time, carbon deposits and dirt can accumulate inside the fuel injectors, especially if low-quality fuel is used. These deposits can block the flow of fuel, leading to clogged injectors and reduced engine performance.

  • Poor Fuel Quality

    • Using low-quality or contaminated fuel can introduce debris and impurities into the fuel system, which can accelerate wear and tear on the injectors. Fuel with excessive ethanol content can also contribute to internal corrosion.

  • Water Contamination

    • If water finds its way into the fuel system, it can cause rust and corrosion within the fuel injectors. Even small amounts of water can lead to significant damage over time, reducing the injectors' lifespan.

  • Wear and Tear

    • Fuel injectors are subject to wear and tear from constant exposure to high pressures and temperatures. Over time, seals, internal components, and spray tips may degrade, especially in high-mileage vehicles.

  • High Fuel Pressure

    • Issues with the fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump can result in abnormally high fuel pressure, which puts extra stress on the fuel injectors. This can cause leaks, excessive wear, or even complete failure.

  • Electrical Problems

    • Since fuel injectors rely on electrical signals to function, problems with the wiring, connectors, or the injector solenoids can disrupt their operation. Electrical issues can cause the injectors to remain open or closed, leading to poor engine performance.

  • Heat and Engine Vibration

    • Prolonged exposure to high engine temperatures and vibrations can damage the injector seals and internal components. This can result in leaks or a reduction in the fuel spray quality.

  • Infrequent Fuel Filter Replacement

    •  The fuel filter helps keep contaminants out of the fuel system. If it is not replaced regularly, dirt and debris can make their way into the injectors, causing clogs and damage.

Fuel injector failure can result from multiple factors, including clogging, poor fuel quality, and electrical issues. Regular maintenance, such as using high-quality fuel, changing the fuel filter, and keeping the fuel system clean, can help prevent injector problems and prolong their lifespan. By understanding these common causes, you can take proactive steps to ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

While basic tools may suffice, following Caterpillar’s torque specifications is essential for proper installation.

No programming is needed, but clearing fault codes and checking injector balance is recommended.

Regular fuel filter changes, clean diesel, and routine diagnostics help prevent premature wear.

Common causes include fuel contamination, worn seals, or excessive engine heat.
