Details
If you are viewing this product, we're going to take a wild guess that your engine is suffering from the killer dowel pin (KDP) syndrome and that your timing case is damaged. Were also going to guess that you don't want to spend a fortune fixing it.
In order to install your housing, you will most likely need to order our KDP Repair Kit. That item is sold separately and includes the following items:
- Front Crankshaft Seal Kit (Seal & Repair Sleeve w/ Installation Tool & Instructions)
- Dowel Pin
- Timing Case Bolt
- Killer Dowel Pin Tab Washer
- Tube of Thread Lock
- Tube of High Temperature RTV Aluminum Silicone (This takes the place of Cummins Gasket Number 3918673 for 1994-2002 Engines.)

Warranty Coverage
- New Parts: Covered under the original manufacturer’s warranty. All terms and coverage are set by the manufacturer. Copies available upon request.
- Rebuilt, Reconditioned, and Used Parts: Backed by an inspection-only warranty unless otherwise stated. As with new parts, RF Engine cannot provide further warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s terms.

Our Guarantee
All parts are guaranteed to be in the condition stated at the time of sale and free from misrepresentation. If something isn’t right, we’ll work with you to resolve it — including returns, exchanges, or refunds when appropriate.
- We sell parts — we don’t make them — but we stand behind what we sell.
- Guaranteed to match the description or your money back.
- Manufacturer’s warranty applies where available; we’ll help if you ever need it.
Used Parts — What to Expect
Used parts are cleaned, inspected, and guaranteed to be usable, but please note:
- They often have signs of wear, surface rust, blemishes, or cosmetic imperfections.
- They may include old gaskets or residue and likely require further cleaning or machining before installation.
- They are not refurbished, remanufactured, or restored to like-new appearance.
We recommend careful inspection and strongly encourage installation by a qualified heavy-duty diesel mechanic.
- Worn, not worn out — used parts may show signs of age but are fit for service.
- All used parts are tested for usability, not appearance.
