Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) KDP Again!

[hoverlover]

Just got done doing the fix on my 99 24V and found out I had the old case, not the "improved" one! Something for use 24V guys to think about. By the way my build date is 10-98.

Anyone up for a KDP party in the Virginia area???

HoverLover,

did you do your fix with a jig ?



I have a 98. 5 and should probably do mine... was it a hard thing to do ? I live down near Colorado Springs...



Thanks,

Phil if you can change your own oil you can do the jig fix, it's very easy.

Jig is availible for CO right now, read this https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79676

kdp fix

Yes, I used the jig fix. The reason I know I had the old case is it was only about 1/2 inch thick! No way could it stop the pin from coming out! As far as how hard it was? Piece of cake! A guy came up from the Springs and we did both trucks, his 12V and my 24V in about 3. 5 hrs. That included a trip to NAPA to get a new belt for his truck. The kit is VERY nice! Also I fat fingered a word on my last entry I typed use instead of us. Oh well.

My build date was 10/27/98 (Cummins). I had the improved case. It was difficult to tell whether or not I had the improved case. The dowel pin bore has a very slight lip edge around its circumference and its not obvious. I ended up dragging a sharp edge "dental" hook in the bore to determine I had the stepped hole. With oil buildup it would be difficult to notice if you have the improved case from just a glance. Just a hint to those who take the cover off I guess.



I went ahead and staked the hole and added green wicking loc-tite for triple security. I tapped it back in 0. 005"... so mine really hadn't moved anyway.
