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.

Taking care of your Cummins QSX15 Temp Sensor (OEM 5461626) is essential for maintaining accurate temperature monitoring and preventing potential engine issues. Since this sensor plays a direct role in how the engine control module (ECM) responds to heat levels, keeping it in good condition helps ensure stable operation.
Because the sensor operates in high-heat environments and relies on precise electrical signals, routine checks and proper handling are important.
Here are practical ways to keep your sensor in good condition:
- Inspect wiring and connectors regularly
- Check for loose connections, corrosion, or damaged wires, as these can disrupt signal accuracy and lead to faulty readings.
- Keep the surrounding area clean
- Dirt, oil, or coolant residue around the sensor can interfere with its ability to measure temperature correctly.
- Monitor for irregular readings or warning signs
- Fluctuating temperature gauges, warning lights, or unusual engine behavior may indicate the sensor is not functioning properly.
- Maintain the cooling system
- Proper coolant levels and system health help prevent excessive heat that can strain the sensor over time.
- Handle carefully during installation or service
- Avoid overtightening or dropping the sensor, as it is sensitive and can be easily damaged.
- Replace when signs of wear appear
- If the sensor becomes unreliable or triggers repeated issues, timely replacement helps prevent larger system problems.
By keeping the sensor clean, properly connected, and regularly inspected, you help ensure accurate temperature readings and support consistent engine operation.
Yes, a faulty temperature sensor can interfere with your engine’s operation. This component provides critical data to the engine control unit, and when that information is inaccurate, it can lead to improper adjustments.
When the sensor isn’t working correctly, the engine may misinterpret temperature conditions, which can impact fuel delivery and overall efficiency.
Here’s how a faulty temperature sensor can affect your engine:
- Incorrect fuel mixture adjustments
- The engine may add too much or too little fuel based on false temperature readings, leading to inefficient combustion.
- Poor engine starting behavior
- A bad sensor can make cold starts more difficult or cause rough starts due to improper fuel calculations.
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- Inaccurate data can cause the engine to use more fuel than necessary during normal operation.
- Unstable engine operation
- You may notice rough idling or inconsistent performance as the system struggles to adjust properly.
- Warning lights and diagnostic codes
- The system may detect irregular temperature signals and trigger alerts on the dashboard.
Addressing a faulty temperature sensor early helps restore accurate data flow and keeps your engine operating smoothly.
It helps determine when exhaust temperatures are sufficient for soot burn-off, ensuring regeneration occurs under the correct conditions.
Incorrect readings can lead to improper system adjustments, triggering fault codes, disrupting regeneration cycles, and affecting emissions system behavior.
It is constructed with heat-resistant metals and reinforced components designed to handle vibration, contaminants, and extreme thermal conditions.
It converts temperature measurements into electrical signals that the engine control module interprets for real-time system adjustments.
