Problems after KDP Fix
I finally took a look at my pin ( I had A bad oil leak ) . Good news is that is KDP was fine. The timing cover was just loose. I installed a new crank and timing seal. Now when the truck heats up there is a loud squel coming from the front the front of the motor. Anyone have any ideas what this is coming from? Thanks again for any feedback.

Re:Problems after KDP Fix
After mine was done, for unknown reasons, I had to replace my belt. The belt on there only had about 12K on it, but it started making all kinds of noise about 100 miles after the KDP. I know the belt got nothing on it because I stood there taking pics while it was done. It was the weirdest thing that it just started making noise, especially since the tensioner is an automatic one, not like the tension was different after the job.

It's my vote too , the belt was put on so it runs the opposit direction , it dose not like it.
To prove it squirt a little greasy stuff on it wd40 or what have you ,bet the noise stops.

One thing to remember, with the newer 'S' tyle belts many are setup to go in one dirrection only, and reverving them may cause problems.

Yeah - the engine might start turning over the wrong way - just think - I'd have one gear forward and 6 in reverse...
And I'd hafta DRAIN the fuel tank every 600 miles...
