I just did the kdp 1200 miles ago. There was no oil seeping out of the front of my motor at all. after that. All a sudden 2 days ago its started leaking. Last night there was one small drop on my steering link. Today after 90 miles there is about 40 spots all over the steer links and axle and such. Im gonna get a new one to put in for tomrro or wensday. Is it worth trying to put the new one on with the timing cover on the truck or do i have to take everything off agian like i did for the kdp?

 

No you can do it with the cover on it just may make it harder. Just make sure there is NO oil or grease on or around the seal the seal puts a layer of teflon on the crank and any oil with mess up that seal.

 

yea I had it spotless clean the first time and it held perfect till 2 days ago. i just find it wierd that it only lasted 1200 so miles.

 

dieselrob,

Did you find you had a problem with the KDP when you got inside, or did you have the "updated" timing cover?

 

I guess i had the updated case because where the dowel was the case stuck out a 1/4 inch past the pin. I still made a custom washer and put it in just to be safe.

 

Ok so i have been calling around to every place here and no one has a crankseal and no one can get them till friday at earlyest.
Also i couldnt find a place online to get one from. Can anyone help me find a place on line so i can have one over nighted? shes leakin pretty good now. It went from drops to everthings getting covered. thanks guys

 

I know i had to drive an hour to get mine but i would check everyplace that works on big trucks. I got mine through kenworth and they stocked it.

 

well I just got back from finding one 68 miles away. I told the guy at the parts counter about the truoble and how far i came and he gave me it for 15 bucks. How nice of him.

 

That is very nice of him thats the way it is when i have to go to Gateway Cummins it is about 1.45 min away and they usually knock some off.

 

dieselrob, glad to see you got it worked out. I have used www.rockauto.com in the past, they're pretty quick in sending parts. Maybe helpful in the future!
