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).

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 Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is a vital component in the Chevrolet GMC Duramax LB7 engine (2001-2004). This part regulates the amount of fuel that goes into the engine’s fuel rail, controlling the pressure to ensure efficient combustion and power generation. When the FCA operates correctly, it contributes to smooth engine operation and optimal fuel efficiency.
Key Functions of the FCA
The FCA works in sync with the engine control module (ECM) to manage fuel flow. Here’s how it functions:
- Fuel Flow Regulation
- The FCA adjusts the amount of fuel entering the high-pressure fuel pump, which directly influences the fuel rail pressure.
- Pressure Control
- It controls fuel pressure based on the engine’s needs, such as acceleration or idle.
- Response to Driving Conditions
- The FCA adapts quickly to changes in driving conditions, ensuring a smooth power delivery.
A well-functioning FCA is essential for maintaining the correct fuel pressure, which helps in reducing engine noise, improving fuel economy, and extending the life of the engine components. Regular checks of the FCA can prevent common issues like rough idling, starting problems, and fuel delivery inconsistencies.
A faulty fuel control actuator (FCA) can cause various issues in your vehicle's diesel engine. Knowing the symptoms of a bad FCA can help you address the problem early and avoid costly repairs. Here are some common signs to look for:
Common Symptoms of a Bad FCA:
- Hard Starting
- One of the first indicators is difficulty starting the engine. A failing FCA may restrict the fuel flow, causing extended cranking time.
- Poor Fuel Efficiency
- When the FCA malfunctions, it can disrupt the fuel mixture, leading to decreased fuel economy.
- Erratic Engine Idle
- The engine may idle roughly or have inconsistent RPMs due to improper fuel control.
- Check Engine Light
- A bad FCA can trigger the check engine light, often indicating issues with the fuel system.
- Loss of Power
- Reduced power during acceleration could be a sign that the FCA isn’t regulating fuel properly.
- Excessive Smoke
- Dark exhaust smoke may appear when the FCA fails to balance the fuel mixture.
If you notice these symptoms, it's important to inspect the fuel control actuator. Addressing the problem promptly can prevent further damage to your engine.
