Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) KDP Tab

[WSHall]

Has anyone tabbed the kdp on the stepped gear case? I am removing my cover on the 2001 today to fix leaks, retorque case bolts, and fix the kdp. I am more comfortable with a tab then the ping method. What is the part number for the stepped tab?



Also, can you turn the motor over (starter) for better access to the case bolts behind the gear.



I appreciate any feedback. If I research this anymore on tdr, I am going to go blind.

Go to Cummins and ask for Part# 3958017, less than $5.
Be careful in there, most bolts torque to INCH lbs. I found out the hard way on the oil pump, a $200 blunder.

If your Second Generation case is stepped, it should have the restrictor ring in the dowel pin hole to prevent the pin from coming out. TST makes a kit with a front seal, etc. and a stepped tab if your case does not have the restrictor ring. Cummins torque spec on bolts inside the case is 18 ft lb.
