5.9 Cummins Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Fix - Plus Water Pump and More [Part 2]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- I pull the timing cover off this 24 valve Cummins to perform the killer dowel pin (KDP) fix. I was surprised by what I found. I also changed the water pump and tensioner pulley while I was in there.

I just discovered your channel last night, and all i can say is wow. This is my kind of stuff. A blue collar dude wrenching on old stuff in his back yard. I love it!
Wow, thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for blurring out your plumbers crack while washing the engine. That was a nice touch for the viewers!
Dynahoe’s where the shit back in the day. My father had a 1975 International Harvester 3400 back-hoe that he bought new. We used to remove and install things for our trucks and equipment. I can’t tell you how many times we used that back-hoe…??? I’m thankful to have a buddy with a track-hoe that helps me out now, dad passed away 20 years ago and my mother sold everything. Its good to have friends to help you out.
Well done Waldo. Your patience, and methodical approach make it look easy.
Thanks! This one was pretty easy, but it's not always that way.
Surprisingly enough it really is amazing that alot of younger techs dont know that trick with the torq bit and a wrench
Yeah, I don't remember where I picked that up, but it comes in handy once in a while!
Once again I'm totally hooked on your videos.
Great work and informative content. Love these engines! that water pump was a breeze :D
Thank you! Easiest water pump ever 😂
Hi. I just discovered your channel. I like the way you work Waldo. Looking forward to the engine painting and swap.
Thanks and welcome! I'm prepping for paint now. It's so tedious, but it should look good once it's painted!
Keep the great videos coming I can’t wait for the swap to start
Thanks, me too!
Its a good idea to wright KDP + date on the timing cover.
its amazing to me how simple some diesel engines are.
I literally had almost the exact same comment about how easy it was to change that water pump. Yeah the engine was out of the truck but even if it was installed, I could see it being pretty easy. Less hassle than a small block V8 and definitely less hassle than a sideways V6/I4. Recently found your channel and I'm liking your work. You just got a new sub!
If you get it done then you did it right, but just a tip, you can use the tensioner the opposite way to hold the belt tighter which will keep the pullies from slipping better and if you hit the wrench on the fan nut straight down with a hammer nice and hard first it tends to crack the rusty nut loose pretty easily
Awesome channel. You have a way of making it all look fun. Way to go Waldo!
Great video !! like a true professional approach ,,didn't know about killer pin thanks I'll keep in mind on other engines , can't wait for next episode
Thanks, Steve!
You deserve waaaaay more subs, my guy!
Hahaha thanks!!
He said it was a 99, and according to my research, starting in 98.5 Cummins addressed the kdp issue when they came out with the 24v design.
On the 12 valves you should remove, clean and loctite the timing case bolts too. They probably have taken out more engines than the KDP ever has. You usually will find them finger tight.
Dowel pin is not common in 24 valves is the 12 valve you have to worry about it. Nice work anyway
After all these years, it looked like it hasn't budged, so yeah, perhaps not an issue with this engine
Cummins went to the stepped gear case (dowel pin and bolt next to it are not at the same level) some time around 02. On those engines, they made the dowel pin hole smaller than the pin at the front so it is not possible for it to come out. I’m not sure why they don’t just make it a blind hole since there is never a reason for the pin to come out that way.
I’ve watched many of your videos and am amazed at your skills and patience, plus your willingness to be humble at your mistakes. Still, I often wonder why you don’t bathe all those seized parts with penetrating oil to try to make the job easier!
if it wasnt for the thousands of dollars needed for me to comeplete this swap id be following right along great job
Did you go to school for mechanics or are you self taught, just started watching your channel so sorry if you have already explained this. Love the content, impressed with your patients, seems like no Matt what you keep your cool and take a different approach. Thank you!
If you want a instant seal and one that turns into rubber use some right stuff. I’ve never had anything leak useing it. Just don’t let the tube ever freeze. If it does it’s worthless
Thanks, I'll have to check it out!
cement floor/pad/garage build series in the future? i'd watch that...
Just subscribed investing at 81 subscribers lets see where this channel goes 📈🔥
Thanks! I can't wait to see where it goes myself!
keep up the good work keep having fun i'm am watching your videos
the vw 3.0 litre v6 tdi makes 240 bhp from the factory it hurts me hearing the specs on that engine but thats probably mostly jealousy, cool content tho so gonna binge watch and like all the videos
Valco manufacturers a nice silicone tube squeezer .
Good work Waldo, pity there is so many know it alls in the comment sections of your videos, specifically Cummins videos for some reason lol!
Great video Bud
Thanks!! 👍
Just found this Channel good shit
Hey Waldo. Really enjoy your videos. I have a 93 C3500HD. I bought it with an bad engine so I'm interested in getting the 6,5 running again. Errr by the way, Deluth sells a long tail tee shirt. Get it?
Hahaha that's a good idea! 😂
Waldo when are we going to see more on the build???
Nice video.Wow waldo i didn't know you could heat up the wear sleeve how long did u had to heat it up cause it went nice n smooth.
It's amazing how effective a little heat can be! I don't remember exactly how long, but it really didn't take long because of how small and thin the sleeve is
@@WaldosWorld im gonna put mind this weekend hopefully mind goes nice n smooth like yours .great video man
Did you not need to remove all the old gasket sealant before putting the new stuff on?
Great Vid. Is that the engine that you fit the Eaton 5 speed transmission to?
The killer dowel pin was only an issue on the 12v. Deboss garage talks about it.
I know this is old, but isn’t that a 53 block? 1998.5-2002. Some 24v blocks were made in Mexico, & don’t have the issue of the Brazilian 53 block that cracks at the water jacket.
Hope you got the truck cheap if it is a 53. Cuz when it comes time for a rebuild most shops probably wouldn’t rebuild a 53 or they’ll tell you it’s not worth it.
I would have thought you would have put a new set of injectors due to the age and mileage of the engine.
I never really considered it since it runs so well 🤷♂️
Alan here, why did you put a NEW timing chain on it, while you had it tore down that far?
It doesn't have a timing chain. 12v are gear driven.
I did not see you use a torque wrench on the bolt that holds the tab for the dowel pin. You used the torque on everything else, except the most critical fastener.
Is it just me or did the old water pump appear to use a more efficient (and expensive to manufacture) impeller design? The impeller on the new pump looked like it was stamped from some old rusty metal roofing and then spray painted silver at a factory in Inner Mongolia 😂😂😂
Hmm, I'm not an impeller design expert, but you might be right. I bought a Gates brand water pump expecting it to be of reasonably high quality... 🤔
I agree the old WP looked better made, I like how it had the beveled area to fit centered in the hole.
Cummins oem unless research proves different...Check DTR lots of knowledge
you went that far why not just replace the entire tensioner assembly?
alright now
Ahhh hamper on a seal and no cleaning off old gasket/silicone off old cover ahhhh
Hope you changed out the tappet cover gasket. Or you're gonna hate your life...
KDP is generally a 12v issue. I have a 99 with 320K.
Well know, during the idler repair scene what do we hear ?
The theme music for Matt and Mike's Iron Trap Garage channel.
I bet you'd enjoy spending a week in his garage working on one or two 30's Ford hot rods they restore or build.
Put new tensioner not just the pulley !
That really really needs a p-pump
He should of put a 5.9 cummins 12v in it
He has no penetrating oil? Did I miss him marking the outside of the valve cover with the KDP modification sticker? Does he cut all of his 36 mm wrenches in half? Ron W4BIN
At 805 the oil dripping off the gear looks like a crack. I had to watch it twice.
Ha I didn't notice that 😂
instructions = yeet (lmao)
Spray everything with penatrating oil at least a hour before you try to take it apart saves lots of time and aggravation

I ran across this a few days ago, a little motivation...
That's pretty cool! I do like the idea of stretching the cab out a little bit...that's pretty rare on older trucks.
Personally if you wanted to clean your engine completely, I would have disassembled it completely, degrease and pressure wash each component.
I woulda bought a old rotted out dodge instead of takin the motor out of a decent work truck
