I want to perform the KDP tab fix on my truck.

I know what the KDP problem is, I know the damage it can do ($$$!!!) and I even know the general method of performing the fix. But before I go searching through the 250+ matches to "KDP", I was wondering (hoping) that someone might have a good do-it-yourself link bookmarked that they wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks for any help.

If you PM me your e-mail address I can forward some more instructions.

 

Awesome! That's exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks!!

 

is this a problem on many ctd's ?

 

uh....ya...quite a few. If its not caught the repairs can be well into the thousands. But with a 2001 you have nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks for all the replies guys! I decided to rip into it last night. It took around close to five hrs because I had trouble with getting the crank gasket into the cover but other than that I think everything went ok. I guess we will see if I have any leaks when I drive it.
Thx for the links etc!
