Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Another KDP question

[McCRam]

I just got my truck two weeks ago, and I have been all over my truck today. It looks like the timing case has been replaced on this. It is definitely not original equipment. It has a new gasket between it and the block, silicone on the case cover and it is aluminum colored, not the gray paint of the block.



Is there a part number I can find on the case that would tell me whether or not this is a newer case that does not need a kdp fix?



I hope that kdp is already taken care of. I can then spend money on more exciting things.

Sounds like the previous owner was unlucky!

Click here https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89747&highlight=kdp+parts+list and scroll down the page for the new style gear case part #. I do not know if the # is stamped on the case where you can see it. If so, then the new style case has a stepped dowel pin hole and will not need tabbed or jigged.

You will not find a part number on the outside of the gear housing, but there will be a cast in part number on the inside. You'll have to pull the cover to see it.

Since the part # is not visible if I were you I would go ahead and jig or tab it. Could be someone procured a used old style gear case and cleaned it up real good before installing it. Don't be a betting man here, just get the kdp neutered.

No bets here. Ill pull the cover and see what is in there. I got a long weekend coming up. I'll do that along with a valve adjustment then.



Thanks for the replies.
