What is the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) issue?

On certain 89-02 Dodge Cummins engines, the dowel pin located in the front of the engine block can loosen and fall out. If this happens, it can cause significant damage to the engine's timing components and potentially lead to a complete engine failure.

What does this kit include?

This kit contains a specially designed tab and all the necessary hardware to properly secure the dowel pin in the engine block, preventing it from backing out.

Is this a difficult repair?

While the repair itself is relatively straightforward, it's often done in conjunction with other engine work. It's a recommended proactive maintenance item for owners of affected Dodge Cummins trucks.
