Any TDR Members in north GA willing to help?

Hello everyone...With the recent purchase of my 98 12v I am in need of someone with some experience. This truck has 70k miles and aside from regular maintenance has never been touched or modified. That's great, but it also means the dreaded KDP is waiting to pounce on me. I have never really worked on diesels but have done quite a bit with gas engines and jet engines so I do have some mechanical skill. I would really like an experienced person to come help me with tackling the KDP fix and possibly stepping up the timing to 15-16*. I'd be happy to compensate you for your time.

Anybody willing to help? I'm located in Kennesaw but if you have a shop I'd be happy to come to you. If I can't find someone to help I'm going to have to take it to a shop; any recommendations?

Definitely going to need some help. I just got off the phone with Cummins Power South in Atlanta...After explaning and arguing with the "Team Leader" what the KDP is and what it can do if it falls out he quoted me $2,340 plus tax ( 18 hours of labor at $130/hr) to put some locktite on it and refused to tab it.


He also told me not to worry about it falling out...that even if it did it's just a new pump housing. I was dumbfounded...they are supposed to be the Cummins experts.
