BD Diesel KDP Killer Dowel Pin Kit (1040182) for 1994-1998 Cummins 5.9L

The BD Diesel KDP Killer Dowel Pin Kit (1040182) is a crucial upgrade for 1994-1998 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. This kit addresses a well-known issue with the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP), a small steel alignment pin in the engine’s timing gear housing that can work loose over time due to engine vibration. If the pin dislodges, it can cause catastrophic damage to the engine’s timing gears and other internal components. BD Diesel’s kit includes a specially designed tab and hardware to secure the dowel pin permanently in place, preventing future movement. Easy to install with basic mechanical tools, the KDP Kit is a preventative maintenance must-have for preserving the reliability and longevity of these iconic Cummins engines.
