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.

The injector follower is an essential part of the fuel injection system in diesel engines, ensuring precise fuel delivery to the combustion chamber. In the Caterpillar C12 engine, the OEM 2027475 Injector Follower plays a critical role in maintaining engine efficiency and performance. In this blog, we’ll look into the functions of this injector follower and why it’s essential for smooth engine operation.

Key Functions of the Caterpillar C12 Injector Follower (OEM 2027475):

  • Ensures Accurate Fuel Injection

    • The injector follower directly influences the timing and amount of fuel injected, ensuring precise delivery to support efficient combustion.

  • Enhances Engine Performance

    • With consistent fuel injection timing, the injector follower helps the engine operate smoothly under various loads, providing reliable power and performance.

  • Promotes Fuel Efficiency

    • Properly timed fuel delivery leads to optimal combustion, reducing fuel waste and improving fuel economy over time.

  • Reduces Emissions

    • By ensuring complete combustion, the injector follower helps minimize the release of unburned fuel and harmful emissions, contributing to a cleaner-running engine.

  • Extends Injector Life

    • The OEM 2027475 Injector Follower is designed to operate seamlessly with the Caterpillar C12 injectors, helping to prevent premature wear on the injectors and enhancing their lifespan.

The Caterpillar C12 Injector Follower (OEM 2027475) is a vital component that supports accurate fuel delivery, enhances fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of this injector follower are key to keeping your Caterpillar C12 engine running smoothly and efficiently. At TamerX Diesel Parts, we offer high-quality OEM injector followers to ensure reliable engine performance for years to come.

The injector follower, a key component in your engine’s fuel injection system, ensures that fuel injectors receive the precise pressure and timing needed for efficient combustion. When the injector follower becomes worn or starts to fail, it can disrupt the fuel injection process, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency. Recognizing the symptoms of a worn or failing injector follower early can prevent further damage and costly repairs. In this blog, we’ll explore the common signs of a failing injector follower.

Signs of a Worn or Failing Injector Follower:

  • Ticking or Tapping Noises

    •  One of the most noticeable symptoms of a worn injector follower is a ticking or tapping noise coming from the engine. This sound occurs when the follower can no longer maintain smooth contact with the camshaft or injector, resulting in metal-on-metal contact.

  • Poor Fuel Efficiency

    •  A failing injector follower can lead to inconsistent fuel delivery, causing the engine to burn more fuel than necessary. You may notice a decrease in fuel efficiency, requiring more frequent fill-ups.

  • Loss of Power and Acceleration

    •  If the injector follower is worn, it can affect the pressure needed for efficient fuel injection, leading to a noticeable loss of engine power and slower acceleration, especially under load or during rapid acceleration.

  • Rough Idling

    •  A worn injector follower can cause inconsistent fuel delivery, leading to rough idling or engine vibrations, especially when the vehicle is stationary. This occurs as the engine struggles to maintain a smooth idle due to improper fuel flow.

  • Engine Misfires

    • When the injector follower fails to maintain proper pressure, it can result in incomplete fuel combustion, causing the engine to misfire. This may present as jerking motions, hesitation, or a stuttering feel while driving.

  • Check Engine Light

    • A malfunctioning injector follower can trigger the check engine light. The engine control module (ECM) may detect irregularities in fuel injection timing or pressure, prompting an alert to the driver.

A worn or failing injector follower can lead to a range of issues, including ticking noises, poor fuel efficiency, loss of power, rough idling, engine misfires, and a check engine light. Recognizing these symptoms early and addressing them promptly is crucial to maintaining your vehicle’s performance and preventing more serious engine damage. If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to have your injector follower and related components inspected by a professional. Proactive maintenance and timely repairs are essential for ensuring smooth engine operation and optimal fuel efficiency.
