Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fluidamper question?

[FordCummins]

Im going to install a Fluidamper on my 12V but ran into a problem. Because Im cheap I called Fluidamper to see if I could use a 24V model with no notches cut into it (because I need to mill 4 notches total into mine to work with the Ford tach) and I also dont need the wiring kit and tach sensor relocation bracket. It would have saved me about $60. Anyway, when I called Fluidamper they said "Nope, cant do it, the harmonics are different and the balancer wont work well"



So I ordered a 12V model I got a good deal on from a vendor, and when I opened the box, it was a 24V one. Called my vendor and he said he spoke to the tech guy at Fluidamper and they said it would be fine to use a 24V one on the 12V.



I just want to make sure it will work, or if anyone else has any insight into this before I go "ruining" a 24V damper by cutting 4 notches in it. Thanks for any help.

The only difference between the 2 is the 12 valve has notches cut into it.

According to their website, the 24V is 22. 8 lbs and the 12V is 24lbs. So it seems to me like there are some internal differences.

Because the two engines run at different Rpms and are different horsepowers the original Cummins dampers are different. Personally I would have them send you the correct one and I wouldn't cut notches in it. Shadrach
