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 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L Glow Plug for model years 2003-2004, OEM ZD12, is a vital component of the engine's cold-start system. This glow plug is designed to help the engine start smoothly in colder weather by heating the combustion chamber, ensuring a more efficient ignition process.
Glow plugs are particularly important for diesel engines, which rely on compression to ignite the fuel. When temperatures drop, this process can become more difficult, making the glow plug an essential piece in maintaining reliable engine function.
Key functions of the Ford Powerstroke 6.0L Glow Plug:
- Cold weather start assistance
- The glow plug heats the combustion chamber to aid ignition in low temperatures.
- Improved ignition reliability
- Helps ensure that the engine starts quickly, even in challenging weather conditions.
- Energy efficiency
- Reduces the need for excessive cranking and fuel consumption during startup.
Regular inspection and timely replacement of the OEM ZD12 glow plugs can prevent starting issues and extend the lifespan of your engine. If your diesel engine is having trouble starting or showing signs of weak ignition, it may be time to check the glow plugs for wear or damage.
Glow plugs are crucial for starting diesel engines, especially in cold weather. However, over time, they can fail due to various reasons. Understanding what causes glow plugs to fail can help in maintaining your vehicle's engine more effectively.
Here are some common reasons why glow plugs fail:
- Carbon buildup
- Excessive carbon can accumulate on the glow plug tips, leading to overheating and eventual failure.
- Worn-out glow plugs
- Like all components, glow plugs have a limited lifespan and will eventually wear out.
- Electrical issues
- Faulty wiring or connections can disrupt the electrical flow, causing the plugs to overheat or malfunction.
- Engine overheating
- Excessive engine heat can damage the glow plugs, especially if they are exposed to high temperatures for prolonged periods.
To avoid glow plug failure, it’s essential to regularly inspect and maintain your engine. If you notice difficulty starting your vehicle or increased smoke, it might be time to check the condition of your glow plugs. Replacing them early can prevent more severe engine problems down the road.
