Description
Avoid catastrophic engine failure from a sheared dowel pin in your 2001-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax with the XDP Duramax Crankshaft Pin Kit XD331. From the factory, your Duramax uses a dowel pin on the crankshaft to hold the balancer in place. In both stock and performance applications, these dowel pins are easily sheared causing the balancer to spin on the snout of the crankshaft.
When this balancer spins, it can throw off the balance of the engine and create harsh vibrations. Continued operation in these conditions will likely result in serious engine damage such as a broken crankshaft.
Eliminate the risks of engine damage and pin your crankshaft so the balancer stays in place with the XDP Duramax Crankshaft Pin Kit XD331. The Crankshaft Pin Kit includes a specially made jig so you so you can drill the crankshaft without requiring an engine tear-down, or a machine shop. Perfect for the toolbox of the at-home Duramax enthusiast, or a professional shop tech.
The included drill bit allows for around 5 procedures to be performed before requiring a replacement. Each kit includes a jig, jig holding bolt, drill bit, pin, and installation instructions.
Features:
- Engine Tear-Down Not Required
- Eliminates Factory Dowel Pin Failures
Application Notes:
If using PPE, ATI, or a Super Damper, the counter weight must be removed before installing drill collar.
Warranty Info:
Products manufactured by XDP carry a 1-Year warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship. The Warranty is Limited to one (1) year from the date of sale and limited solely to the parts contained within the product's kit.
In both stock and modified setups, the factory dowel pin can fail, leading to the balancer spinning on the crankshaft snout. This can disrupt the engine's balance, resulting in severe vibrations and ultimately causing catastrophic damage, including a broken crankshaft. The XD331 Crankshaft Pin Kit eliminates this risk by securely pinning the crankshaft, ensuring the balancer remains fixed in place during operation.
What sets this kit apart is its user-friendly design. It comes with a specialized jig that permits drilling into the crankshaft without the need for a complete engine tear-down or the expense of a machine shop. This feature makes it an indispensable tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike. The included drill bit is designed to complete approximately five procedures, making it a practical choice for ongoing maintenance.
Each kit comes equipped with a jig, a jig holding bolt, a drill bit, a pin, and clear installation instructions, facilitating a straightforward installation process. Additionally, it's important to note that if utilizing aftermarket components like PPE, ATI, or a Super Damper, the counterweight must be removed prior to installation.
