Default 12V and 24V Cummins Tool Kit

Thought you guys might be interested....I picked up a tool kit from Cummins...it includes everything needed to do an oil change and valve lash adjustment (including the barring tool) - this is a cheap way to buy the barring tool. Price was $85 minus 10% (Canadian dollars - probably about half that for you guys with real money).
Cummins p/n: 3399869 - BTW, all the tools are made in the U.S. (KD Tools)

No Problem...

- a proper oil filter wrench
- 3/8" x 6" extension
- stubby flatblade screwdriver
- barring tool
- metric feeler guage
- 2 wrenches (14 mm, 15 mm)
- 3/8" flexhead ratchet
- 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19 mm
- 3/8" x 1/2" adapter
- all in a good case.

B Series Valve Clearance Adjustment (2nd gen guys)

http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/valve_adj/12_valve.html

4. Insert the barring tool into the bellhousing hole. Insert a 1/2 drive wrench into the barring tool, and turn the crankshaft slowly, while watching the valve train. Press the timing pin to locate Top Dead Center (TDC) for cylinder No.1.

If no barring tool is available, the crankshaft may be turned with a 22 mm socket on the alternator pulley bolt. Rotate the engine clockwise when viewing from the front of the truck. This method turns the engine backwards, so make sure you are adjusting the correct valves.

You can also turn the engine with a 15mm socket on one of the harmonic balancer pulley bolts.

Is the rubber plug on the bell housing easy to see/find? I read that it is on the passenger's side, I'm just not sure I've actually seen it.

Those barring tools are handy as hell to have, beats using the altenator any day.

I have acouple of long extensions (ends up being like 3-4' total when their put together) and a swivel deal I stick into the barring tool. The swivel allows me to angle the extensions up to come out by the alt. and I can turn it fromt he front of the truck. No running back and forth underneath the truck.
