Best place to buy cummins valve spring tool?

So I'm trying to get this cummins valve spring compressor tool and the guys at the parts counter say they don't order them. They give me the name of some service manager and I can't get alhold of this guy for nothing.

Anybody order cummins tools online? Where do you get them?

Thanks for any and all help.

Keegan

I got mine at my local cummins dealer. He had to order it, but it only took a couple days.

Make sure to lube the threads before use! A little ARP moly lube works very well.

It's a flat plate with 4 holes in it and a bolt. So I'm doubting that.



Anybody else?

How much did you pay for yours?
