hey guys,<br> <br>i just picked up my ctd about a month ago and need to know when i should get a valve adjustment and any other maintenance the last owner might have over looked. also i hear im due to fix the kdp if so where do i get a jig to repair it. my truck is a 96 with 62,350.<br><br>thanks, dan<br>

 

I would just go ahead and adjust the valves. That way you know what was done. Before you do check the gaskets on the valve covers. If they are black in color you probably should go to Cummins and pick up the upgraded gaskets. The upgrades are grey. They are about $28 for all six around here. If you already have the grey ones on the valves have probably been adjusted.<br>Tom

 

Great info. I'll check the color on mine tomorrow. ;D Thanks...

 

MnTom, when did you get your kdp fixed(milage), and do you know who i contact to get the jig . i cant remember where i saw the list to use or rent it? [undecided]

Srigs,<br>The dealer told me to adjust them at 118,000 miles. I got 101,00 now and he said they don't need adjustment. They want $300. to do the job.

 

$300 Whooo Hoooo !!<br>That,s high.<br>It,s usually $125 ~ $150 including new gaskets.<br>If you were close I could save you some $$$$<br><br><br> : Eddie : 8)

 

Just did mine and it was $150 at the Dealers?? :

the advntage to harolds jig is if the pin has sliped part way out,the angle of the hole allows ya to tap the pin back into place. the 1st gen jig and 2nd gen jig are specific for their applications to asure no slop and a direct hit of the setscrew against the owelpin. the 2nd gen jig does the 12v and 24v. for those who dont know 89s thru 99s are in need of the kdp fix. the 8.3 also has this problem acording to a tdr thread
