Actually I had their URL bookmarked to check out. As to my KDP, I'm already sorta committed to have it done next week by a fellow volunteer fireman that has a truck repair shop near Chimacum Wa. He does mostly big rigs and has not done a KDP but knows about the problem. I do plan to check with the "Bombers" and see if I cant get involved in a repair party if there are any in this part of the world. I live on Marrowstone Island on the NE corner on the Olympic Peninsula.

I droped my truck off at 7:00. They called back around nine to tell me it was done. Plunger lift was 5.00 mm before and 5.10 mm after. Along with that came a list of add-on service they recomend. Valve adjustment (done two months ago), Idle speed adjustment(at 800 rpm, seems good to me), wiper blades( think I would be able to tell). I ran the service writer through some questions and politely let him know that I took my truck in to get the timing set. He got a liitle defensive when I questioned him. He kept having to run back to the tech to get the answers. Total bill was $185 and change. $100 more that he told me on the phone, but I knew that already.

5.10mm lift is only 9° BTDC
That sure doesn't sound right to me, it should have been more like 13° or 5.80 lift
