Killed my KDP before it killed me!!!

Thanks to Harold and his jig kit I killed the KDP on my Dad's 95 just in time. It's of course hard to say how much time I had left but the pin was about 1/2 way out. It went back in tight so who knows, I'm just glad I never have to worry about it again. Great thanks to this web site and everyone on it who brought this problem to my attention. ;D ;D ;D

Its a good feeling indeed.<br><br>To know that the pin will never be a problem is a great comfort.<br><br>Rich.

Anyone in the Philly area who hasn't dealt with this yet, let me know. I still have 7 set screws that need homes.

FYI Harold Bowers makes KDG Jigs and sells for a very reasonable price. Contact Him either: rvhvnfn@juno.com or<br>208-459.7849.

Getting ready to tab mine. I was wondering if anyone has a good idea on how to make the tab (i.e. what's the best way) and do I need to replace the seal or can I get away with keeping the old one?

Re:Killed my KDP before it killed me!!!

If it weren't for this site I would have been happy with my truck being stock and I wouldn't be trying to figure out how get the wife to OK a set of injectors right now. :'(<br><br>What's that, honey? You think the kitchen needs new countertops? Why sure, I'll be able to do that as soon as I get the injectors &quot;fixed&quot; in the truck. You know, that granite countertop you want is real heavy material so the truck needs [glow=red, 2, 300]more power[/glow] to be able to get it home properly ;D<br><br>This might work if she hadn't been a OTR truck driver in another life : She has more miles behind a diesel than I ever will live to see.
