Does advancing the timing help out a lot?
thats not exactly somethign I was wanting to dive into myself, and upon calling the local diesel shops I've heard from 1k-1500-3000 for them to bump my timing 16* and do the KDP fix. Un-Real..
So what kind of gains and potential are released by bumping the timing 16* when you do basic mods on these cummins (gsk, fuel plate, intake, exhaust, etc..)

I understand you can get the kits cheap, but I really dont want to mess with tearing the front end apart, the grill, crossmember, front cover, then worrying about tdc and all that. Too much for me with too few parts and too little space, plus I'm busy and cant afford to mess anything up and lose my truck for a few days or few weeks.
EDIT: UNLESS of course there are significant power/mileage gains to be had...

You can make your own kdp fix, you just have to make a washer. Advancing the timing helps out alot, makes the truck run smoother and does increase power quite a bit. $1000 is ridicolous and surely you can find somewhere that does it cheaper than that. Your always welcome to drive down to NC.
