Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Finding TDR was the second best thing after finding a good deal on a D/C truck.
In my ignorance I bought one that was ALREADY bit by the KDP and sold to me by my local Dodge dealer in the unrepaired condition. I'm the idiot that didn't buy the warranty. Only after owning it a month or so, did it leak enough oil past the pressure-washed engine to signal something was wrong.
It was cracked at the top of the case, and I quickly learned what caused it.
I finally could afford to fix it and local member Joe Donnelly was kind enough to meet me a few times and come out of retirement to fix it for me for a good deal. He also answered many other questions and is a nice guy.
So, now I have confidence in my truck again. The KDP was still inside the case, too, a time bomb for greater damage down the road.
He also adjusted my timing and inspected my fuel plate to find that I already had a #6. Now I know. And I know what else to keep on eye on in the future, too. And where to keep spending my money!
