Mines a 99 and when Wannadiesel was here at the Cave he told me i don't have one. He killed 3 that day. I think it his total is number 68 kills.

 

All the first and secnd Gen trucks have the pins, it's just that some have the updated cover that prevents them from coming out. But I can tell you that my 99 did not have the updated cover when I pulled it apart.

 

You had me believing you for a few minutes. The explanation provided by Cummins seems to be very logical but Dave opened a can of worms with his recent post. And yeah, its pretty scary.

 

I just pulled the cover off my 99 and the tab will not work because the dowel pin is raised from the bolt. Does that mean I have an updated cover and nothing to worry about? The 99 has had many owners and abuse. It looks like the cover was pulled before because the bolts are all different sizes. the bolt next to the dowel pin along with the others are a torx head. Any one else have these kind of bolts or did they just use whatever was lying around when they put it back together?

 

Yes my 01 has the torx head bolts it is the updated cover.No worries

 

so lets get this right, if it has torx heads, its an updated cover?

 

Thanks!!! This is great news. I still feel like I stole this truck. I'm doing a lot of work to it, but it runs well.

 

ya im kinda gettin a lil worried as well my 99 has 234km on it without a single problem
