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.

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 IPR (Injection Pressure Regulator) O-ring in your Ford Powerstroke 7.3L engine is a small yet crucial component that helps regulate fuel pressure, ensuring your engine runs smoothly. For models from 1994-2004, the OEM 4C3Z-9C977-AA IPR O-ring is specifically designed to fit perfectly and function effectively. Over time, this O-ring can wear out, leading to various engine issues. Recognizing the signs of a failing IPR O-ring can save you from costly repairs and downtime.

Symptoms of a Failing IPR O-Ring

  • Hard Starting

    • One of the first signs of a failing IPR O-ring is difficulty starting the engine. If the O-ring is worn or damaged, it can cause a drop in fuel pressure, making the engine harder to start, especially in cold conditions.

  • Rough Idling

    • A faulty IPR O-ring can cause inconsistent fuel pressure, leading to rough idling or engine stalling. This is because the engine isn’t receiving the correct amount of fuel to maintain a steady idle.

  • Loss of Power

    • If your engine feels sluggish or lacks power, it could be due to a leaking or damaged IPR O-ring. This causes a drop in fuel pressure, which directly impacts the engine’s performance.

  • Oil Leaks

    •  Visible oil leaks near the IPR valve area can indicate a failing O-ring. As the O-ring deteriorates, it may allow oil to seep out, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Maintaining Your Ford Powerstroke 7.3L IPR O-Ring

To avoid these issues, it’s important to inspect and replace the IPR O-ring regularly. The OEM 4C3Z-9C977-AA IPR O-ring is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring that your engine maintains the correct fuel pressure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the O-ring can help keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

By paying attention to the signs of a failing IPR O-ring, you can take proactive steps to maintain your Ford Powerstroke 7.3L engine. Replacing a worn O-ring with the OEM 4C3Z-9C977-AA ensures a perfect fit and long-lasting performance, keeping your engine in top condition.

The Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) valve plays a critical role in controlling the oil pressure in the fuel injectors of diesel engines. The IPR O-ring is a small yet essential component that ensures a proper seal within the IPR valve. When this O-ring fails, it can lead to significant engine performance issues. Understanding the causes of IPR O-ring failure can help you take preventive measures and maintain your engine’s efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore the common factors that contribute to IPR O-ring failure.

  • Heat and Pressure

    •  The IPR O-ring is constantly exposed to high temperatures and pressures within the engine. Over time, these extreme conditions can cause the O-ring to harden, crack, or become brittle, leading to failure.

  • Poor Quality Materials

    • O-rings made from subpar materials may not be able to withstand the harsh conditions of the engine. Inferior O-rings are more prone to wear and tear, making them more likely to fail prematurely.

  • Contaminated Oil

    •  Dirty or contaminated oil can accelerate the degradation of the IPR O-ring. Contaminants in the oil, such as dirt, metal particles, or sludge, can erode the O-ring, leading to leaks and loss of pressure.

  • Improper Installation

    • An improperly installed O-ring can become pinched, twisted, or damaged during the installation process. This can compromise the seal and lead to early failure, even if the O-ring itself is of good quality.

  • Wear and Tear

    • Like any engine component, the IPR O-ring is subject to wear and tear over time. Continuous exposure to engine conditions eventually wears down the O-ring, necessitating its replacement.

  • Chemical Degradation

    •  Certain chemicals or additives in the engine oil can react with the material of the O-ring, causing it to degrade. This chemical breakdown can lead to the O-ring losing its elasticity and ability to maintain a proper seal.

The failure of an IPR O-ring can have significant implications for your engine’s performance, leading to issues like loss of power, poor fuel efficiency, and even engine damage. Understanding the common causes of O-ring failure—such as heat and pressure, poor quality materials, and contaminated oil—can help you take steps to prevent these problems. Regular maintenance, using high-quality components, and ensuring proper installation are key to extending the life of your IPR O-ring and keeping your engine running smoothly. Stay proactive in your vehicle care to avoid the costly consequences of a failed IPR O-ring.
