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.
"This Product Doesn't Have a Core"
Installed on Cummins ISB 6.7L and QSB 6.7L engines produced between 2014 and 2018, OEM 2842728 is a temperature sensor designed to monitor thermal conditions within the engine or aftertreatment system. This component is manufactured to OEM specifications to ensure accurate fitment and compatibility with factory control systems. Constructed from durable materials, it is built to withstand the operating environments common in medium- and heavy-duty diesel applications. The sensor delivers precise temperature data to assist with system regulation and overall engine management. It is a dependable choice for maintenance and targeted repair needs requiring reliable monitoring capability.

The Cummins ISB 6.7L / QSB Temperature Sensor 2014–2018: OEM 2842728 is an electronic temperature sensing unit used to monitor engine or exhaust system temperatures, depending on its specific application. While it appears to be a small component, it contains several integrated elements that allow it to accurately measure temperature and communicate with the engine control module (ECM).
Below are the primary components of this temperature sensor assembly:
- Sensing element (thermistor or temperature probe)
- The internal element that detects temperature changes and alters its electrical resistance accordingly.
- Metal probe tip
- The portion inserted into the engine or exhaust passage to directly measure temperature.
- Threaded housing
- Allows the sensor to be securely mounted into the engine block, intake system, or exhaust component.
- Electrical connector
- Connects the sensor to the engine wiring harness and transmits signals to the ECM.
- Internal wiring leads
- Carry the electrical signal from the sensing element to the connector.
- Sealing washer or O-ring
- Ensures a tight seal to prevent leaks and protect against contamination.
Together, these components allow OEM 2842728 to measure temperature accurately and send real-time data to the ECM. This information is critical for fuel management, emissions control, and overall engine protection in Cummins ISB 6.7L and QSB engines from 2014 to 2018.
The main cause of temperature sensor failure is prolonged exposure to extreme heat combined with contamination or electrical degradation. Temperature sensors operate in high-stress environments such as exhaust systems, coolant passages, or intake air streams, and over time constant thermal cycling weakens the internal sensing element.
Excessive heat is especially damaging in exhaust applications, where sensors are exposed to repeated regeneration events and high operating temperatures. Continuous expansion and contraction can cause internal cracking, resistance drift, or complete signal loss. In coolant systems, corrosion or contaminated coolant can damage the sensor tip and interfere with accurate readings.
Other contributing factors that accelerate temperature sensor failure include:
- Corrosion at electrical connectors
- Damaged or brittle wiring from heat exposure
- Soot or carbon buildup on exhaust sensors
- Coolant leaks contaminating the sensor element
- Voltage spikes or poor ground connections
- Physical damage during service or installation
In many cases, the sensor itself is not the original problem. Overheating from injector over-fueling, failed regeneration events, cooling system issues, or exhaust restriction can push sensors beyond their design limits. Regular inspection of wiring, maintaining proper cooling system health, and correcting engine performance issues are essential to preventing premature temperature sensor failure.
