i took care of the KDP today. it was slightly out of the housing, i tapped it a few times and tabbed it. new gasket and seal. it was a fairly easy job. i also fixed my fuel sender. after removing it, i noticed the contactswre not making contact with the resistor due to play in the shaft. a new sender was $60 USD so i made a spacer out of plastic cut to the shape of the retainer bar. i zip tied it to the bar at the ends, works perfectlyand the 60 bucks can go in my pocket!

 

A job well done is a job worth doing.

 

I need to do mine soon. I ordered the kit already, I just don't have the time yet.

For the others... Don't delay, make the time and git 'er done... The alternative is UGLY...

first4age: Take the time to do this now. It only takes a few hours because it ain't pretty when that thing lets go. Besides, you will sleep better knowing it is done.

this truck is new to me as of thanksgiving. It has 255,000 miles on it and after reading about the KDP here i just had to do it. the truck is stock and it is my first diesel, i will never go back to gas!

 

Good work!

People, if you HAVEN'T done this, DO IT RIGHT AWAY or have it done.

The alternative is $1000 for repairs, on the LOW SIDE!

 

dont want to sound stupid but whats kdp stand for?
