It was supposed to have been fixed with the updated case on the 24V but we have a member here (a Sponsor actually) whos Dads truck dropped the dowel pin - and that truck was an 2002.

Anyways, on topic...
Like mentioned above, With banks you are getting a good quality piece but you are paying alot more for the name than the part!
Personally i wouldnt go for it, if your going to spend a good buck to have someone install it i wouldnt start off by getting raped on the parts!

Ultimately, its your choice. We can tell you what to get and where to get it, but you have to take care of the install. FYI, you can buy the same type of stiff that Banks sells and have someone else install it.
On thing, you REALLY have to shop around to find a shop that is very knowledgeable on the 12V. This just isnt a bolt on parts deal. To get the most out of the performance parts you have to find someone that can do some tuning for you.
Abnd one more thing - have you tabbed your Killer Dowel Pin (KDP)??

You can get all the parts that come in that kit for much cheaper by buying it from vendors that we have here on the site. I personally recomend JBarker of Holland Court DIesel Performance. He can get you all the parts you want or need then just take them to the shop and have them installed.

Alright, well it just so happens I have a business card from Dave's Diesel Injection Service in my wallet. He's located in 2 spots, Muncie, and Angola Indiana... I don't know how far they are from you, but if you want their info PM me and I'll send it to you. They are super knowledgeable guys around a 12V. If you want a shop that'll tune your truck from mild to wild at a fair price I would talk to those guys, Rick Smith at the Angola shop is highly recommended.

Well the truck is completely stock..it is for sure gonna have to be a daily driver....but man, i tell ya.... readin all these threads about what you guys can do to these 12-v's is addicting. I had no idea the potential of these trucks when i ran across it at the lot...even the salesman said "of all the trucks we have on the lot...this is the one that wont be here for long". I love the truck as is ...except for the SLOW acceleration from the start....turbo lag? Bare with me as this is the first diesel anything i've ever driven...so what do you suggest for a truck that will be used as everyday driver that will also be pullin my travel trailer (8,000lbs tops) 4-5 times a month.
