What gaskets/seals do I need to do the KDP? Ive got practically the whole front end off, taking the core support out tomorrow. So why not do the KDP.

I see I need to remove the fan assembley, what about the harmonic balancer?

What is a fluidampr good for on a first gen, or can I even get it for the nonintercooled engine? Ive seen them listed for 92-98 12valves. Is it a worthy investment?

 

Bump. someone has to know what gaskets/seals I need....part numbers would be awesome. Going at lunch to get parts so if someone could help Id be highly appreciative.

 

You will want to get a New front crank seal, Some rtv to seal the front cover back on. And yo need to take the dampner off and the fan, The fan nut is left handed thread soe just get a chisel and hammer and smack it on the edge of the nut going clock wise and it'll break loose. Do you have a tab for the pin already?

Thanks Brett

 

Im gonna use the coathanger trick for the tab.

 

For the fan I would find wrench that fit it and whack it with a hammer while the belt is still on. For the dowel, you can just peen the hole with a chisel, so it can't come thru. Use grey permatex for the cover and a real Cummins seal. Don't have the p/n, but just call em with your esn. If you don't have a Cummins shop, then go to Case. Install it dry!

 

This topic with part numbers was just brought up a few days ago; should be easy to find.
I'll find it and bring it back up.

 

Thanks GLHS and everybody. Off to Dodge house to get my wallet emptied....its cheaper than driving to the closest Cummins place.

 

I have a gasket on the way....got everything else in hand. Should I just silicon it or use the gasket?

 

i personaly wouldnt use the coat hanger just doesnt sit well with me if the kdp is still in the hole you could just hit a dent in the hole withe the round end of a ball peen hammer but if its flush i would use a tab

 

Well Im not gonna do it right now anyway. Ordered the seal/gasket kit and will be here tomorrow, but I have to get my intercooler finished and this truck rolling asap....good summer project I guess.
