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.
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.

The Caterpillar Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), OEM 291-8515, is a key emissions component designed to capture and store soot from diesel engine exhaust before it is released into the air. Specifically built for Caterpillar machines, this filter plays a central role in meeting emission standards while helping the engine run efficiently under regulated conditions.
Diesel particulate filters are made to trap fine carbon particles that result from diesel combustion. Over time, the DPF undergoes a cleaning cycle known as regeneration, where the accumulated soot is burned off, allowing the filter to continue operating effectively.
Key Functions of the 291-8515 Caterpillar DPF:
- Traps soot and particulate matter from engine exhaust
- Supports compliance with EPA and CARB emission standards
- Maintains exhaust system cleanliness
- Designed to match factory specs for flow and fitment
Installing the OEM 291-8515 DPF helps ensure long-term reliability of the emissions system. Using parts that match Caterpillar’s engineering requirements helps reduce unnecessary wear and avoid system faults.
Whether for on-highway or off-road use, this filter is an essential component in keeping your Caterpillar equipment compliant and operating smoothly.
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a crucial part of a vehicle’s emissions system. It captures and stores soot to reduce pollution, but when it becomes blocked or fails, it can cause a range of engine issues and warning lights.
Common Signs of a Faulty DPF
A DPF that isn't functioning correctly will often show symptoms such as:
- Warning lights
- The most obvious sign is the DPF or check engine light appearing on your dashboard.
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- A clogged filter makes the engine work harder, using more fuel.
- Frequent regeneration
- If the system tries to clean itself too often, the DPF may be blocked.
- Rough idling or stalling
- Restricted exhaust flow can disrupt normal engine operation.
- Excessive smoke
- A faulty DPF may allow visible black smoke to escape through the exhaust.
If you notice these issues, a diagnostic scan can confirm if the DPF is to blame. Addressing it early can prevent further damage to the exhaust system and keep the vehicle compliant with emissions standards.
This DPF traps and removes soot from the exhaust to keep emissions within required standards.
Signs include frequent regeneration cycles, loss of efficiency, or warning lights on the dashboard.
While some DPFs can be cleaned, this OEM part is typically replaced when it reaches end of service life.
