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.

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.

In the Caterpillar C12 engine, the intake exhaust follower plays a vital role in controlling the movement of the intake and exhaust valves. The OEM 2511005 Intake Exhaust Follower ensures the precise timing and operation needed for efficient airflow in and out of the engine, which is essential for optimal combustion. Let’s explore the key functions of this part and why it’s important to maintain.

Key Functions of the Caterpillar C12 Intake Exhaust Follower (OEM 2511005):

  • Controls Valve Operation

    • The intake exhaust follower regulates the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves, ensuring they function in sync with the engine’s needs for air intake and exhaust expulsion.

  • Enhances Combustion Efficiency

    • Proper control over the valves improves combustion by allowing the correct air-to-fuel ratio, contributing to better fuel efficiency and engine performance.

  • Reduces Emissions

    • By maintaining efficient valve timing, the intake exhaust follower helps reduce emissions by promoting cleaner and more complete combustion, which lowers the release of unburned gases.

  • Supports Engine Longevity

    • Consistent valve operation prevents unnecessary wear on other engine components, ensuring smoother operation and extending the engine’s overall lifespan.

  • Designed for Compatibility and Durability

    • The OEM 2511005 Intake Exhaust Follower is specifically engineered for the Caterpillar C12 engine, providing a precise fit and high durability in demanding conditions.

The Caterpillar C12 Intake Exhaust Follower (OEM 2511005) is a key component that ensures efficient valve timing, enhances combustion, and reduces emissions. Regular inspection and timely replacement of this part are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Caterpillar C12 engine. TamerX Diesel Parts offers quality OEM parts to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

The intake exhaust follower, also known as a cam follower, is responsible for following the camshaft’s rotation and ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct times. When an intake exhaust follower begins to fail, it can lead to serious engine performance issues and, if left unaddressed, potential engine damage. Recognizing the symptoms of a failing intake exhaust follower early can help you prevent costly repairs. In this blog, we’ll cover the common signs of a failing intake exhaust follower.

Symptoms of a Failing Intake Exhaust Follower:

  • Ticking or Tapping Sounds

    • One of the most common signs of a failing intake exhaust follower is a noticeable ticking or tapping noise from the engine. This occurs because the cam follower can no longer move smoothly along the camshaft, leading to audible metal-on-metal contact.

  • Loss of Power and Acceleration

    • A faulty intake exhaust follower can disrupt the timing of the valves, causing poor air-fuel mixture combustion. This often results in reduced engine power, sluggish acceleration, and an overall decline in performance.

  • Engine Misfires

    •  When the intake or exhaust valves aren’t opening or closing correctly due to a failing follower, the engine may experience misfires. Misfires can lead to a rough running engine, poor idle quality, and hesitation during acceleration.

  • Poor Fuel Efficiency

    • A bad intake exhaust follower can affect the engine’s air-fuel balance, resulting in incomplete combustion. This causes the engine to burn more fuel than usual, leading to poor fuel efficiency and increased trips to the gas station.

  • Rough Idling

    •  If the intake or exhaust valves are not operating as they should, the engine may struggle to idle smoothly. You may notice rough idling or excessive vibrations, especially while the vehicle is stopped.

  • Check Engine Light

    • A failing intake exhaust follower can trigger the check engine light, as the engine control module (ECM) may detect timing issues or misfires. A diagnostic scan can confirm if a cam follower issue is causing the light to appear.

A failing intake exhaust follower can lead to several noticeable symptoms, including ticking sounds, power loss, engine misfires, poor fuel efficiency, rough idling, and even a triggered check engine light. Addressing these symptoms early can prevent further engine damage and help maintain your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy. If you suspect an issue with your intake exhaust follower, it’s essential to have it inspected and repaired by a professional. Timely maintenance and attention to warning signs are key to keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
