I love XDP. All good experiences so far when ordering.

[@XDPDiesel]

Thanks for the support Cesar!

[@David-yy7lb]

Makes me mad that gm cheaped out on this critical area, they could have spent a few more dollars to key the crankshaft

[@tatephelps5496]

Recommendations on reusing the crank bolt? To my understanding they were torture to yield, specifically on the lml? Though I’ve hear they’re ok to reuse?

[@foliagetree]

I love you guys

[@pimp2285]

Do you have tool for the dowel pin on cam shaft?

[@XDPDiesel]

We do not have a camshaft pin tool available at this time but please check back often as we are always adding parts and tools to our inventory

[@user-dv6dx7bs3j]

Why 1 3/4 inch drilled when the pin isn't that long?

[@travis1572]

Good ?
Any idea why

[@lcazier619]

How hard is it to pull off balancer after this kit is installed?

[@XDPDiesel]

L Cazier, the pin is not permanent. The balancer can still be easily removed.

[@DD57DODGE]

Definitely have to use a puller

[@breakingbolts33]

Does this kit only work with the stock wheel or would it work with a fluidamper or ppe damper?

[@XDPDiesel]

Yes, the XDP Crankshaft Dowel Pin Kit XD331 can be installed on a truck with a PPE, ATI, or a Super Damper but the counterweight must be removed before installing the drill collar. It's also not currently compatible with Fluidamprs made in 2020 or later that have six bolt-holes on the face of the damper

[@breakingbolts33]

@@XDPDiesel thank you. Makes my part research a lot easier. Doing this out of my garage so I can’t easily remove a crank so I want to take every precaution I can.

[@ftworthgent]

Why not make the tool longer to cut a longer pin slot and cover both pins?? Eliminating both pins for one is better.

[@twistedpain183]

can this be done for an L5P?

[@XDPDiesel]

this kit is only for the 2001-2016 GM 6.6L LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML

[@twistedpain183]

@@XDPDiesel right on thank you

[@atx-cvpi_99]

L5P doesn’t have this problem yet.
