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.

A turbo assembly, specifically the OEM 196-5051, plays a crucial role in the Caterpillar 3406C and 3406E engines from 1990 to 1999. Understanding its functionality helps in maintaining engine efficiency and longevity. This turbocharger is designed to boost the engine's power by forcing more air into the combustion chamber.
How It Works
The turbo assembly uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine. This turbine, in turn, drives an air compressor. As the compressor spins, it draws in more air and compresses it into the engine's cylinders, enhancing the combustion process.
Key Functions:
- Increased Airflow
- The turbocharger compresses incoming air, allowing more oxygen to enter the combustion chamber.
- Improved Combustion
- More oxygen in the combustion chamber leads to better fuel burning.
- Enhanced Efficiency
- By improving combustion, the engine can operate more efficiently.
Benefits for Caterpillar 3406C and 3406E Engines
- Fuel Efficiency
- Proper functioning of the turbo assembly can lead to better fuel efficiency.
- Reduced Emissions
- Improved combustion results in lower exhaust emissions.
- Extended Engine Life
- Efficient operation helps in reducing engine wear and tear.
Regular maintenance of the OEM 196-5051 turbo assembly is essential for ensuring optimal durability of Caterpillar 3406C and 3406E engines. Regular checks and timely replacements can prevent major engine issues and enhance overall engine health.
A turbo assembly plays a crucial role in boosting your diesel engine’s power and efficiency. When it fails, it can lead to significant engine issues and reduced vehicle functionality. Recognizing the symptoms early can save you from costly repairs and downtime.
Key Symptoms of a Failed Turbo Assembly:
- Power Loss
- One of the most noticeable signs is a significant reduction in power. Your vehicle may struggle to accelerate, and you might experience a general lack of power during driving.
- Excessive Smoke
- A failing turbo can cause an increase in exhaust smoke. If you see blue or black smoke, it often indicates oil or fuel is leaking into the exhaust system.
- Unusual Noises
- Listen for whining or grinding noises from the engine. These sounds can signal that the turbo’s internal components are damaged.
- Check Engine Light
- The check engine light might illuminate due to issues with the turbocharger. Diagnostic codes related to boost pressure can help pinpoint the problem.
- Oil Leaks
- Oil leaks around the turbo are a clear sign of trouble. Inspect the turbo and surrounding areas for oil seepage.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe engine damage. At Tamerx Diesel Products, we offer high-quality turbo assemblies to ensure your diesel engine runs smoothly. Addressing turbo issues promptly helps maintain your vehicle’s reliability and longevity.
Keeping an eye out for these symptoms can prevent extensive damage and costly repairs. Trust Tamerx Diesel Products for reliable turbo assemblies and maintain your vehicle’s optimal condition.
It compresses intake air, allowing for better fuel combustion, which leads to improved engine performance and fuel economy.
Regular oil and filter changes, ensuring clean air intake, and inspecting for exhaust leaks are essential to maintain turbocharger health.
