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 Caterpillar Temperature Sensor (OEM 2644297) is a key monitoring device used in various Cat engines and equipment. Its primary role is to measure engine or coolant temperature and send that information to the machine’s control module. This allows the system to make necessary adjustments to maintain safe and efficient engine operation.
What This Sensor Does
The sensor continuously reads temperature changes inside the engine or cooling system. As temperature increases or decreases, the sensor converts these changes into an electrical signal that the engine control system can interpret. This data ensures that the engine runs within its intended temperature range.
Why This Sensor Is Important
- Prevents overheating by helping activate cooling system responses
- Supports proper fuel and timing adjustments based on operating temperature
- Improves equipment reliability through stable temperature management
- Protects critical engine components from thermal stress
- Triggers alerts or warnings when temperature rises beyond safe limits
The Caterpillar Temperature Sensor (OEM 2644297) may be small, but it plays a major role in engine protection and performance. Without accurate temperature monitoring, the engine cannot regulate cooling, adjust fuel control, or prevent overheating. Keeping this sensor in good condition is essential for dependable, long-lasting operation of your Caterpillar equipment.
The Caterpillar Temperature Sensor (OEM 2644297) is an essential part of many CAT engine and equipment platforms. Its job is to monitor coolant temperature and provide accurate data to the engine’s control system. When this sensor fails or sends incorrect readings, it can affect engine stability, cause warning lights, and lead to overheating concerns.
Because temperature control is critical to engine longevity, keeping this sensor in proper working condition is vital—especially for equipment used in demanding environments.
Common signs of a failing CAT 2644297 temperature sensor include:
- Erratic or fluctuating temperature readings
- Overheating warnings even when coolant levels are normal
- Hard starting in certain temperature conditions
- Poor idle stability
- Check Engine Light triggered by temperature-related fault codes
If these symptoms appear, a diagnostic scan can confirm whether the sensor is transmitting inaccurate data. Inspecting wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage is also recommended, as these issues can mimic sensor failure.
Replacing a faulty 2644297 sensor helps maintain correct coolant monitoring, prevents overheating, and supports long-term engine health.
You may see abnormal gauge readings, inconsistent fan operation, or unexpected warning alerts.
It signals coolant temperature changes so the ECM can adjust fuel delivery during warm-up.
Yes, corroded or loose terminals can interrupt the temperature signal and cause incorrect readings.
It should be checked during overheating diagnostics or when coolant temperature data seems unreliable.
