Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Timming

[PKemp]

Looking for a shop, or realiable wrench turner expert in the Gulfport, MS area that can reset timming other than factory specs. I'm half way between New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL off Interstate 10. The local dealer (Champion Dodge) won't do it and the local Cummins service dealer (Kennedy Engine) won't either. The Big Cummins Shop in Mobile, AL won't talk about it.

Anyone know of anyone?

If you are handy buy the tools and be the man in your area. It isn't hard to do and after 2 or 3 times it becomes real simple. If you do your own truck work do the timing. It may take all afternoon the first time but by the third time you will be down to less than an hour.

Good Luck and take your time and all will be OK.

I do have another question. I have found the tools to do the timming, and thanks for that info but I have run into another thing. A guy I know works for a "pump" shop that rebuilds P7100 pumps on the big trucks (18 wheelers) and the P7100 pump was used a lot on Mack Trucks. They've stopped using the copper delivery valve sealing washers and have been using stainless steel ones for several years. I checked with a local Mack Truck Parts shop and that is all they have been selling for quite awhile. Should we be using the steel ones in these pumps rather than the copper? The steel ones here are easily obtained and are dirt cheap. My local Dodge dealer can't even find the washers in his parts books. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... .

None of the pumps I have worked on have had the sealing washers all have been the washerless type P7100. If yours has the washers the steel are just fine from what I was told.
