Description
Overview
Prevent catastrophic engine failure with the Power Driven Diesel Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Repair Kit for Dodge 5.9L Cummins.

This repair kit includes everything needed to complete the job, including gasket, seals, locking tabs, dowel pin, and your choice of with or without a front main seal wear sleeve—making it the ideal option for standard repairs and preventative maintenance.

Great product
"This arrived quickly and we were able to put it in fast. Fortunately, my dowel pin had not backed out , but I have piece of mind knowing that it is secure now."
"Exactly what i ordered"
Q&A
- Is this a Cummins branded item? I am curious as to how you're able to get away with selling this so cheap when a Cummins seal with wear sleeve is no cheaper than $230 from what I can find.
- These kits are not offered with Cummins brand wear sleeve and seal.
- Is it recommended to apply RTV or any kind of gasket maker onto the gasket in this kit? Or is it best to install this gasket dry?
- It is recommended to install the gasket dry, but would not hurt anything to install with alittle bit of RTV, personal preference.
