KDP tabbed
 

Well I'll put on my flame suit here as I should know better but I FINALLY tabbed my KDP yesterday. Stumpman sent me a pic showing the KDP on his green truck and it was out about an 1/8". I called him up and told him that it needed done and that I have yet to do mine. I've had my truck for oh......6 years and known about it for 5-1/2 of those and never got around to it....yeah dumb I know. So he told me to get the seal and cover gasket and bring the truck down and we'd do it. Well I took him up on his offer and went down int he snowstorm yesterday and we (he) tabbed it. It was odd having someone else work on my truck while I watched but he had it down to a system and I just helped where I wouldn't get in his way. The cover was off for a seal replacement at one point in the trucks life but the previous owner never knew or didn't care about the KDP and it was about and 1/8" out as well. With 225K on the clock. So don't wait around and gamble guys......get it done. ANd thanks to Stupman for offering the warm shop and his KDP killing expertise.

glad to here you got er done

good job man and thanks Stupman :tu:

wheres the cheapest kit to get?
would i be better off making a tab myself, and buying the seal and gasket from a dealer?

I would just get the seal and gasket from Cummins and make the tab from a 3/8 fender washer................cakewalk

and definitely worth the effort to fix it ahead of time. i found out the hard way :argh:

I went to the local Freightliner/Cummins dealer. $75 for the seal and gasket and Stumpman made the tab out of a fender washer...

i paid 80 dollars for the bd kdp kit :tu:

:c: Thanks for the beer, It was just enough encouragement to take out my snowmobile last night. Glad I could help.

kdp killer is the best mod you can do on a ctd glad to hear ya got it all done.

You got a deal cause that lists for $105 and the TST kit doesn't come with the timing cover seal....just RTV.
