All I can remember is the killer dowel pin, which was fixed somewhere
around 1996-1998 IIRC.
I think it wasn't a problem after 1998
I'm a new Dodge/Cumming Truck owner but I learned real quick that MY truck
was a possible candidate for the KDP ..... The "killer dowl pin" is in the
block and is for aliening the timing case. Allot have fallen OUT , best
case scenario, cracked timing case, worst case gets ugly and expensive
:'(. I had mine taken care of by a "big rig" shop owner, friend. he
charged my $200, which I think is good :-) I wasn't ready to dig into
that Cummins, YET its allot different than my little 240Ds. Heres a good
place to start for Dodge/Cummins info and theres are more.

chat over there is about the dreaded KDP, Sigh, I dont have nightmares
anymore :-)
