397,000 mile KDP Question

I wonder what the chances are that the KDP has been killed on this 1994 fleet truck with 397,000 miles?

"Chances" is a good word, take it apart and check it.

Worth checking! I bought my truck with 299,000 miles, first thing was to check the KDP. Sure enough it had not been done and was backing out! It's too easy of a job to not do it!

Just pulled my timing cover to check on a 12 valve I just purchased. It has 406,000 and found the pin barely hanging on, I would highly reccomend checking!
