I have been reading all of the info on the KDP and would like direction or insight into purchasing a KDP jig kit. Any help with this would be appreciated.<br><br>Denny

 

I ve got one....but I don t know if I want to get rid of it...the wreches for the fan might come in handy in the future...Its really easy.....well thought out ....first class...<br><br><br>Do a search for Harolds Kit....I don t know his email...Some one should be able to post it for ya....the deluxe kit was 100$ and maybe 2 hrs of your time....although you could do a second truck in half that....easy.....<br><br>

 

Harold's email is rvhvnfn@juno.com<br>I have the kit and highly recommend it, the wrenches make getting the fan off so easy.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I did find Harold's email and have ordered a Jig kit (KDP) for myself here in Hawaii. I have my truck and my buddies to fix at this time.<br><br>Denny

 

How much easier is it to use the jig than to just remove the timing cover? I still need to get my KDP done.

 

The jig fix is really easy. All you remove is the fan and fan hub and the belt. The shroud is just loosened and pushed back out of the way. It took me an hour and a half to do my first, I've done 5 now and I'm under an hour now. BTW, anybody near Philly who would like this taken care of, send me a PM.

 

Just got my KDP done.
took about 30 minutes with the jig. Very nice.
Of course this was in a diesel shop with all the
tools.

 

I just did my 12er's this week

1st one = 2.5 hrs

2nd one = 45 min.

I was suprised that the long screws went in all the way considering they both have +/- 200 k miles. I wonder how far the pin can work out before it has to be tabbed instead.

I sleep much better now.

 

Thanks for the info guys, I contacted harold and should be in good shape soon....great site
