do a search on google. i think tst.com is what the site is called... the sponsors sell them too ask for a price quote...

i just did mine today... my truck is at 254xxx miles and was so relieved the pin has not moved at all... tab the sucker. right now im in the process of putting it back on..

the kit cost anywhere from 60-100... but i just used the coat hanger cheapo way..


Get it done ASAP!!!

TST seems to be expensive to me? I haven't looked at their kdp kit yet but everything else looks pretty pricey.

I have 256k miles on my truck as well as a front cover leak, and I dont think the kdp has been touched either, according to the last owner. So I'm anxious to get it done as well.

Do you have a link to doing it the coathanger way? I'm pretty cheap and if its effective I'd do it that way as well.

Why do the coat hanger when you can easily make a tab and or stake the hole?

Because that would take engineering that little piece to use :P I appreciate the linky though!
