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.

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 Peterbilt and Kenworth Paccar PX7, PX9, and MX13 engines use the OEM Q21-6170-001KIT sensor as a crucial component in their emissions control systems. This sensor plays an essential role in keeping the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system accurate, ensuring the engine runs clean and remains compliant with strict environmental regulations.
The Q21-6170-001KIT sensor continuously measures the quality, concentration, and level of DEF fluid in the tank. It helps the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system perform its job of converting harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. By sending precise data to the engine control module, it allows the system to make real-time adjustments for optimal efficiency.
Key functions of the Q21-6170-001KIT sensor include:
- Monitoring DEF fluid quality to detect contamination or dilution
- Measuring fluid level to prevent low-DEF warnings
- Communicating data to the engine control module for accurate dosing
- Supporting consistent operation of the SCR and DPF systems
- Helping maintain emissions compliance across driving conditions
When this sensor functions properly, it prevents costly repairs, engine derates, and emission faults. The Q21-6170-001KIT is engineered to meet OEM standards, ensuring dependable performance in Peterbilt and Kenworth models equipped with Paccar PX7, PX9, and MX13 engines from 2015 to 2022.
This small but vital component keeps your truck running efficiently, cleanly, and in compliance—mile after mile.
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sensor plays a crucial role in monitoring exhaust pressure and helping your vehicle’s emissions system operate efficiently. When it starts giving faulty readings or triggers warning lights, many drivers wonder if it can simply be cleaned instead of replaced.
While cleaning a DPF sensor might seem like a quick fix, it’s not a reliable or long-term solution. These sensors are precision components designed to detect minute pressure differences and temperature changes. Dirt, soot, or residue inside the sensor can’t be fully removed without damaging the sensitive internal elements.
Here’s why cleaning often fails:
- Contaminants
- can enter the sensor housing and distort readings.
- Soot buildup
- can harden, making it nearly impossible to remove.
- Chemical cleaners
- may damage internal electronics.
- Temporary fixes
- often lead to recurring warning lights.
If your DPF sensor is malfunctioning, it’s best to diagnose the root cause — such as a clogged DPF, failed wiring, or sensor degradation. In most cases, replacement is the safest option to restore accurate readings and keep your emissions system functioning correctly.
Proper maintenance and high-quality fuel can help extend the lifespan of your new sensor and prevent future failures.
It monitors Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system parameters such as fluid level or concentration to ensure the after-treatment system operates correctly.
Symptoms include after-treatment fault codes, erratic DEF tank/level readings, engine derate mode, or warning lights related to emissions systems.
Because using the proper part ensures compatibility with the vehicle’s wiring, sensors and ECM calibration – using an incorrect piece may trigger incorrect readings or faults.
In most cases no special programming is required; once installed and connected correctly the system will read the new sensor. Clearing fault codes and verifying reading accuracy is recommended.
