what KDP kit to buy?

looks like the tst kit doesn't have all the gaskets but its only 44 bucks.

i remember seeing another kit that had every thing for more?

I used the TST kit and it had everything I needed, and wasn't missing any gaskets. What extra gaskets are you needing.

it doesn't say there is a crankshaft gasket.

that kit has it.

does it need to be replaced? or can you reuse the one on there?

The TST kit sure does include a crankshaft seal:

The TST kit has everything you need to do the job.

If you are talking about the dust seal, you don't need it!! That is basicly for agriculture use. The TST is complete for your truck. You could just go by a cummins parts place and get the seal and a tab and save yourself some money,as you don't need the cover gasket either.If you do the cummins parts route pick up a dowel pin for a dollar, cheap insurance if yours is gone, put one back in. Goodluck,,Rick

i used the tst kit on the first kdp i done. the other 5 i just went and bought a tube of grey sealant to replace the gasket( that is what the tst kit uses). the seal should be fine unless it's leaking already. if you has some sheet metal and a gringer laying around you can make your own tab
