I would replace the term 'immune' with 'not likely'.

if its early 98.5 he proly isn't imune, i believe they used the same timing cases until they ran out of them.

yes play it safe and check and fix the kdp in the 24v. its not worth the risk of not checking it. it may not be likley but the chance is still there

Same timing cases?

...as I understand, with Cummins using the same timing cases as the 12 Valves in their early production years of the 24V [up to 2002], why then is it less likely for a KDP fiasco to occur with a 24 Valve? :confused013:

Yes, I agree that it is indeed an unlikely event to have a KDP fall out and destroy your engine. Like others have commented, my pin had also not budged when I tabbed mine.

Then again...I have never had a house fire in over 35 years. Should I therefore deem it an 'unlikely event' and just forget about fire insurance? Hmmm...
