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.

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.

Key Functions of the Caterpillar 3406, 3406B Turbo Assembly (OEM 0R6960):

  • Increases Air Intake for Efficient Combustion

    • The turbo assembly compresses and forces more air into the combustion chamber, which enhances the fuel-burning process, leading to improved engine efficiency and power.

  • Improves Fuel Efficiency

    • By optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio, the turbocharger allows the engine to burn fuel more effectively, leading to better fuel economy and lower fuel costs over time.

  • Reduces Exhaust Emissions

    • A properly functioning turbo assembly aids in more complete combustion of fuel, which reduces the amount of unburned fuel released in the exhaust and helps to minimize harmful emissions.

  • Manages Exhaust Heat

    • The turbo helps regulate and manage the high temperatures produced by the exhaust gases, ensuring that the engine remains within safe operating limits and preventing potential damage due to overheating.

  • Durable Design for Heavy-Duty Use

    • Specifically designed for Caterpillar 3406 and 3406B engines from 1990 to 1999, the OEM 0R6960 Turbo Assembly is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty operation, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

The Caterpillar 3406, 3406B Turbo Assembly (OEM 0R6960) is vital for boosting engine efficiency, managing heat, and reducing emissions. Regular inspection and maintenance of this turbo assembly will help extend the life of your engine and keep it running smoothly.

The turbo assembly is an essential component in many modern vehicles, designed to boost engine power and improve fuel efficiency by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. However, if the turbo assembly fails, it can lead to a series of engine problems and negatively impact your vehicle’s performance. Understanding what happens when a turbo assembly fails can help you recognize the signs and take immediate action. In this blog, we’ll explore the consequences of a failed turbo assembly.

Consequences of a Failed Turbo Assembly:

  • Significant Loss of Power

    •  One of the most noticeable effects of a failed turbo assembly is a significant loss of engine power. Since the turbocharger is responsible for delivering additional air into the engine, a failure can make the engine feel weak or sluggish, particularly during acceleration.

  • Increased Exhaust Smoke

    • When the turbo assembly fails, it often leads to oil leakage into the exhaust system. This can cause increased exhaust smoke, which may appear as black, blue, or gray. This smoke is usually an indication of oil burning along with the fuel, and it’s a clear sign that something is wrong with the turbo.

  • Poor Fuel Efficiency

    •  A malfunctioning turbo assembly disrupts the balance of the air-fuel mixture in the engine, leading to poor combustion. This imbalance forces the engine to consume more fuel than necessary, causing a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.

  • Loud Whining or Rattling Noises:

    • A failing turbo assembly often produces unusual noises such as whining, whistling, or rattling. These noises indicate that internal components of the turbo, like the bearings or blades, may be worn or damaged.

  • Engine Overheating

    •  The turbo helps maintain optimal engine temperatures by ensuring efficient combustion. If it fails, the engine may overheat due to an improper air-fuel mixture, which could lead to severe damage to other engine components.

  • Oil Contamination

    • A failing turbo can introduce oil into the engine’s intake, leading to oil contamination. This not only impacts engine performance but can also result in further damage to the engine if left unaddressed.

  • Complete Engine Failure

    • In severe cases, if the turbo assembly fails and pieces break off, they can enter the engine, causing catastrophic damage. This can result in complete engine failure, requiring extensive and expensive repairs.

When the turbo assembly fails, it can lead to a range of problems, from a noticeable loss of power and increased exhaust smoke to poor fuel efficiency and engine overheating. Recognizing these symptoms early and taking prompt action can prevent further damage and costly repairs. If you suspect your turbo assembly is failing, it’s crucial to have it inspected and repaired by a professional to ensure your vehicle continues running smoothly and efficiently. Regular maintenance and attention to warning signs can help extend the life of your turbocharger and keep your engine in peak condition.

Signs include reduced engine power, unusual noises from the turbo assembly, excessive exhaust smoke, and increased oil consumption.

Common issues include boost leaks, compressor wheel damage, and wastegate malfunctions.

Regularly clean turbo assembly components, perform oil changes, and monitor performance indicators to ensure optimal operation.

Installing a turbo assembly involves positioning it on the exhaust manifold, applying anti-seize compound to the bolts, securing the turbocharger, and connecting the necessary tube assemblies.
