mcfly,

Does your truck have a manual transmission?

 

[OT-OF-HERE!!]

Fluiddamper

Yes, I run one. I would say it is worth it. IMHO, there are internal vibrations that WE put in our engines with the mods that we do and the Fluiddamper basically smooths out those vibrations. How do I know this? Because instantly the engine ran smoother and not that I've ever pushed it to the outer limits, but I have run it hard at high rpm and it is definitely a much smoother runing truck with it than without it. I would do it again. $$$ well spent.



Further, I'd bet you that people running serious power like the Garmon Bros. are running it.

Just installed one on a '94 last night. I like it. Right off the bat I noticed a much smoother idle. I only have 6 miles on it.



They are pricey though.



Maybe look at Bullydogs and compare it to Fluidampr (I believe it's a re-packaged Fluidampr)

If the topic here is the viscous vibration damper that goes on the crank, these have been on the big rig engines for years.

Good, then you'll notice a difference if you install one.

I am waiting to install mine, but I have an automatic. I bought one for piece of mind

 

[WUnderwood]

Oh, and dont forget the Loc Tite if you put one on

Could someone show me, or explain were this fluid dampner would go on the CTD? Thanks, Eric

It replaces the stock harmonic damper that bolts to the front of the crankshaft.
