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.

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.

Keeping your John Deere 6068 Turbo Assembly (OEM DZ126980) in top condition starts with maintaining the engine systems that support it. Since the turbocharger operates at extremely high temperatures and rotational speeds, proper maintenance can significantly extend its service life and help prevent premature wear.

The turbo itself requires very little direct maintenance, but the quality of the oil, air, and cooling systems has a major impact on its longevity.

Here are some of the best ways to prolong the life of your turbo assembly:

  • Change the engine oil and filter on schedule
    • The turbo depends on a constant supply of clean oil for lubrication and cooling. Fresh oil helps protect the bearings and internal rotating components from excessive wear. 
  • Keep the air filter clean
    • A clean air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the turbocharger, protecting the compressor wheel from damage.
  • Inspect the intake and charge-air system
    • Check hoses, clamps, and intercooler connections for leaks or damage. Proper airflow helps the turbo operate efficiently.
  • Allow the engine to warm up before heavy operation
    • Giving the engine time to build proper oil pressure ensures the turbo is fully lubricated before it is subjected to high loads.
  • Let the engine idle briefly before shutting it down
    • After prolonged or heavy-duty operation, allowing the engine to idle for a short period helps reduce turbocharger temperatures and minimizes heat-related stress.
  • Maintain the cooling system
    • Keeping coolant at the proper level and following the recommended cooling system maintenance schedule helps control engine temperatures, reducing stress on the turbocharger.
  • Watch for early warning signs
    • Unusual whining sounds, excessive exhaust smoke, oil leaks, or reduced engine responsiveness can indicate developing turbo issues that should be inspected promptly.
  • Follow John Deere's recommended service intervals
    • Routine maintenance of filters, fluids, and related engine components helps create the ideal operating environment for the turbocharger.

The John Deere DZ126980 Turbo Assembly performs best when it receives clean oil, unrestricted airflow, proper cooling, and routine inspections. By maintaining these supporting systems and addressing small issues before they become major problems, you can help maximize the turbo's lifespan and keep your John Deere 6068 engine operating reliably for years to come.

A bad turbo assembly isn't always a candidate for immediate replacement. Whether it can be repaired depends on the extent of the damage and what caused the failure. In some situations, minor issues can be corrected, while severe internal damage usually requires a complete replacement.

Before making a decision, it's important to inspect the turbo and identify the root cause of the problem. Replacing the turbo without fixing the underlying issue can lead to another premature failure.

Here are situations where a turbo assembly may be repairable:

  • Minor oil or air leaks
    • Loose clamps, damaged hoses, worn gaskets, or leaking oil lines can often be repaired without replacing the entire turbo assembly.
  • Faulty external components
    • Problems with the turbo actuator, boost control solenoid, or related sensors may affect turbo operation even though the turbocharger itself is still in good condition.
  • Carbon buildup causing restricted movement
    • On some variable geometry turbochargers, carbon deposits can restrict vane movement. Cleaning the affected components may restore proper operation if no internal damage has occurred.
  • No internal mechanical damage
    • If the compressor wheel, turbine wheel, shaft, and bearings remain within specification, repairing surrounding components may be all that's required.

Replacement is typically the best option when:

  • The turbo has excessive shaft play
    • Worn bearings can allow the shaft to move excessively, leading to contact between the wheels and housing.
  • The compressor or turbine blades are damaged
    • Bent, chipped, cracked, or broken blades reduce turbo efficiency and cannot be reliably repaired.
  • Internal bearings have failed
    • Bearing failure can cause severe internal damage and contaminate the lubrication system with metal particles.
  • The turbo housing is cracked or heavily damaged
    • Structural damage can compromise boost pressure and the overall reliability of the turbocharger.
  • The turbo continues to fail after other repairs
    • If oil leaks, boost problems, or abnormal noises persist despite repairing related components, replacing the turbo assembly is usually the most dependable long-term solution.

A thorough inspection is the best way to determine whether a turbo assembly can be repaired or should be replaced. Correcting the underlying cause—such as poor lubrication, contaminated oil, or restricted airflow—is just as important as repairing or replacing the turbo itself to help prevent future failures.

The assembly is manufactured using heavy-duty cast housings, precision-balanced rotating components, heat-resistant turbine materials, and durable sealing components designed for commercial diesel applications.

The OEM DZ126980 turbo assembly weighs approximately 46 pounds, making it suitable for heavy-duty John Deere engine applications.

Yes. It is engineered to withstand continuous operation under high engine loads, elevated exhaust temperatures, vibration, and demanding industrial duty cycles.

Technicians should inspect the oil supply and return lines, intake tubing, charge air piping, exhaust manifold connections, gaskets, and mounting hardware before installing the replacement turbocharger.
