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.

An air brake compressor is a crucial component in the Caterpillar C13 ACERT engine, particularly for models from 2008-2011. This device ensures the proper functioning of the vehicle's air brake system by supplying compressed air needed to activate the brakes. Understanding how this compressor works can help maintain the efficiency and safety of your vehicle.
Functionality of the Air Brake Compressor
The air brake compressor operates by drawing in air through its intake valve. This air is then compressed and stored in the vehicle's air tanks, ready to be used when the brakes are applied. The process involves several steps:
- Intake Phase
- The compressor draws in atmospheric air through the intake filter.
- Compression Phase
- The piston compresses the air, reducing its volume and increasing its pressure.
- Discharge Phase
- The compressed air is then discharged into the storage tanks through the discharge valve.
Key Features of OEM 20R7295 Air Brake Compressor
- Durability
- Built to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting service.
- Compatibility
- Specifically designed for Caterpillar C13 ACERT engines from 2008-2011.
- Efficiency
- Provides consistent air pressure for reliable brake operation.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your air brake compressor in optimal condition:
- Regular Inspections
- Check for any signs of wear or damage.
- Clean Intake Filters
- Ensure the intake filters are clean to avoid contamination.
- Monitor Air Pressure
- Regularly check the air pressure levels in the storage tanks.
By understanding and maintaining the air brake compressor, you can ensure the safe and efficient operation of your Caterpillar C13 ACERT engine.
An air brake compressor is crucial for the proper functioning of your vehicle's braking system. Identifying the symptoms of a failed air brake compressor early can prevent dangerous situations and costly repairs.
Warning Signs of a Failed Air Brake Compressor:
- Air Pressure Loss
- One of the most common symptoms is a noticeable drop in air pressure. If the compressor is not maintaining adequate pressure, your brakes might not work effectively.
- Unusual Noises
- Listen for any unusual noises such as knocking, grinding, or excessive vibrations when the compressor is running. These noises can indicate internal damage or wear.
- Oil Leaks
- Check for any oil leaks around the compressor. Oil leaks can cause contamination of the air supply and lead to compressor failure.
- Increased Stopping Distance
- If you notice that your vehicle is taking longer to stop, it could be due to insufficient air pressure caused by a failing compressor.
Key Indicators to Watch For:
- Sudden air pressure drops
- Unusual compressor noises
- Visible oil leaks around the compressor
- Longer stopping distances
It's essential to address these symptoms promptly to ensure your vehicle's safety. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of faulty components can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensure a smooth driving experience.
Check the coolant ports, oil supply line, discharge line, mounting surface, and flange gaskets for signs of wear, restriction, or contamination.
Yes, internal mechanical failure or a faulty unloader mechanism can prevent the compressor from building or maintaining pressure.
Regular air dryer service, clean oil supply, inspection of the governor, and proper coolant flow help prevent premature wear.
Yes, prolonged idle can reduce lubrication flow and lead to increased internal friction in high-duty-cycle compressors.
