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 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler is an essential component in reducing emissions and maintaining engine efficiency. When an EGR cooler fails or becomes clogged, it can lead to various engine problems and increased emissions. Diagnosing issues with your EGR cooler early can help prevent further damage and ensure your vehicle runs smoothly.
Diagnosing issues with your EGR cooler is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and emissions control. A faulty EGR cooler can cause a range of problems, from decreased fuel efficiency to potential engine damage. Recognizing the symptoms and knowing how to diagnose these issues can save you time and money on repairs.
-
Check Engine Light
-
One of the first signs of an EGR cooler problem is the illumination of the check engine light. This light can indicate various issues, including those related to the EGR system. Use an OBD-II scanner to read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and identify if they point to the EGR cooler.
-
-
Excessive Smoke
-
If you notice excessive white smoke coming from the exhaust, it could indicate that the EGR cooler is leaking coolant into the exhaust system. This is a sign that the cooler has failed and needs immediate attention.
-
-
Loss of Coolant
-
Regularly check your coolant levels. A sudden drop in coolant levels without any visible leaks could suggest an internal leak in the EGR cooler. This leak can lead to engine overheating and further damage if not addressed.
-
-
Reduced Engine Performance
-
A clogged or malfunctioning EGR cooler can lead to reduced engine performance, including rough idling, loss of power, and increased fuel consumption. If you experience these symptoms, the EGR cooler might be the culprit.
-
-
Pressure Testing
-
Perform a pressure test on the cooling system to check for leaks. If the system does not hold pressure, it could indicate a leak in the EGR cooler. This test can help confirm if the cooler is the source of the problem.
-
-
Visual Inspection
-
Inspect the EGR cooler for any visible signs of damage, corrosion, or soot buildup. Also, check the surrounding areas for signs of coolant leakage. Physical damage or significant soot buildup can impede the cooler’s function.
-
-
Exhaust Gas Analysis
-
Analyzing the exhaust gases for high levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) can indicate a malfunctioning EGR system. Since the EGR cooler’s role is to reduce NOx emissions, a spike in these emissions can suggest an issue with the cooler.
-
In conclusion, diagnosing issues with your EGR cooler involves monitoring the check engine light, looking for excessive smoke, checking coolant levels, observing engine performance, conducting pressure tests, performing visual inspections, and analyzing exhaust gases. Early detection and diagnosis can help prevent severe engine damage and maintain your vehicle’s performance and emissions standards. If you suspect an issue with your EGR cooler, consult a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs. Maintaining a functional EGR cooler is essential for your vehicle’s longevity and environmental compliance.
The OEM 388-4342 is engineered with durable materials and an efficient cooling design tailored to handle the specific thermal demands of CT13 and CT11 engines.
Operating with a faulty EGR cooler can lead to overheating, engine knock, increased emissions, and potential damage to the cylinder head and other critical components.
Performance can be tested by checking for pressure drops, monitoring coolant flow, and inspecting for cracks or internal leaks during a system diagnostic.
Inspect the coolant system for blockages, verify the condition of EGR pipes and gaskets, and ensure there are no exhaust leaks around the mounting area.
