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 Cummins ISC 8.3L Air Brake Compressor (OEM 3558022) is a vital component responsible for generating the compressed air needed to operate the vehicle’s air-powered systems. Designed for 1998–2004 engines, it plays a key role in both safety and daily operation.

What it is:

This component is a mechanically driven air compressor mounted to the engine. It takes in ambient air, compresses it, and sends it to air storage tanks, where it’s held under pressure until needed.

What it does:

  • Supplies air for the braking system
    • Its primary job is to provide the compressed air required for air brakes, allowing the vehicle to stop safely and effectively.
  • Maintains system air pressure
    • It continuously cycles to keep air tanks filled within the correct pressure range.
  • Supports other air-operated components
    • Systems like air suspension, air horns, and auxiliary pneumatic devices rely on the compressor.
  • Works with pressure regulators and governors
    • It turns on and off based on system demand, ensuring consistent pressure without overloading the system.
  • Converts engine motion into compressed air
    • Driven by the engine, it uses mechanical energy to compress incoming air for system use.

The Cummins 3558022 air brake compressor is the source of compressed air for your vehicle, supplying the pressure needed to run critical systems—especially the brakes—making it an essential part of safe and reliable operation.

A failing air brake compressor is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately, as it directly affects your vehicle’s braking system. If the compressor can’t maintain proper air pressure, it can compromise safety and lead to dangerous driving conditions.

The first step is to confirm the issue and avoid continued operation if pressure levels are not being maintained. Acting quickly can help prevent complete system failure.

Here’s what you should do:

  • Monitor air pressure levels closely
    • Check your gauges to see if the compressor is building and maintaining the required pressure. Low or slow-building pressure is a clear warning sign.
  • Inspect for air leaks in the system
    • Leaks in hoses, fittings, or tanks can make it seem like the compressor is failing when the issue is actually air loss.
  • Check the compressor drive and connections
    • Ensure belts, gears, or mounting points are intact and functioning properly, as mechanical issues can affect compressor operation.
  • Look for contamination or moisture buildup
    • Excess moisture or debris in the system can reduce efficiency and damage internal components.
  • Run a diagnostic inspection
    • If available, use diagnostic tools to check for faults related to the air system or compressor performance.
  • Limit driving and seek immediate repair
    • If pressure cannot be maintained, avoid driving except to move the vehicle to a safe location or repair facility.

Addressing a failing air brake compressor right away is critical for maintaining safe braking capability and preventing more extensive system damage.

The unit is water-cooled, helping regulate operating temperature during continuous use in demanding conditions.

It produces around 13.2 CFM of airflow, which is suitable for heavy-duty air brake system requirements.

Signs can include low air pressure, warning lights, slow brake response, or difficulty maintaining system pressure.

It is built with heavy-duty metal components and precision-machined internal parts designed to withstand continuous pressure and heat.
