Re:Valve adjustment???

I have Cummins do my vavle adjustments and it usually runs me right at $100.00.<br><br>The local Cummins shop get $95.00 an hour, and they quote 1 hour to adjust the vavles.<br><br>Rich.

This price was quoted to me by the local Cummins shop. It also included a new valve cover gasket. WOOHOO!!! They also quoted me $350.00 to remove my front cover and tab the KDP.

Re:Valve adjustment???

I got a quote from a Cummins shop in central Wisconsin for about $120-$140 depending upon valve cover gaskets. Bought the barring tool, set my own without problems. Makes you &quot;one with the truck&quot;. Give it a try it's not that hard. <br><br>
