So what is this "killer dowel pin" or whatever, does it effect my truck, how can you tell and how do you fix it?

 

http://members.aol.com/Hrrs994/kdp<br><br>That'll get you a little information. You can't tell if it has been fixed unless you take the fan pulley assembly off. And that is only if it has been fixed with the Jig. If it has been tabbed, you will have to remove the timing gear cover to see if it has ben done.

 

does it effect my 24 valve?<br><br>the truck has 90000 miles on it, if my truck is affected, is there a good chance that it has already happened?

The infeirior cover was used 'till early/mid '99, on 12v and 24v engines. if it was mine, I'd get it fixed, before it falls out, big trouble when/if it does.<br><br>Later, Rob
