Description

The BD Diesel 1040182 KDP Killer Dowel Pin Repair Kit offers a preventative solution for a critical failure point in Dodge 5.9L 12-valve Cummins engines. The factory-installed dowel pin, located behind the timing cover, has a known tendency to work itself loose. If this occurs, it can fall into the timing gears, leading to extensive and costly engine damage. This kit provides all the necessary components to replace the OEM dowel pin with a more secure and permanent solution, safeguarding your engine before potential failure. The repair is recommended as a proactive measure to avoid vehicle downtime and significant repair costs. Fitment is specific to 1994-1998 Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks utilizing the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins engine. The product is legal for sale and use in all 50 states and does not require an EO in California. Installation time is estimated at 3 hours, and the kit comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile parts warranty.
