Fluidamper install
I installed the damper last night, I wish I read and unbolted the fan shroud on the bottom of the fan, after the install, idle was smoother couldn't hardly hear the DD clutch, while drivin all I could hear was the turbo and exhaust, very Impressed with this upgrade

I have been thinking of putting one on my truck. I understand that it can reduce the low RPM growl in the tranny in the lower gears. Need to know for sure if it will or not.

early on when I first got my truck this seemed like a good upgrade for my pickup, but funds aren't as free flowing and I haven't been able to build my truck as quickly as I thought I could.

I found this article about dampners for the Cummins. It is an interesting read.

I got a deal on one yrs ago. I finally had it along with a new belt installed after chucking my dmf. Very noticible improvement in idle smoothness. I can't really say it reduced gear noise in mine.

I've heard it's a bolt in, but the 6.7L pulley must be used with the 6.7L dampener. If the part for the barring tool (mounted inside the pulley hub) is used longer bolts will be needed, if not the original bolts can be used if in good shape.

But what's the cost of a 6.7L damper from the dealer (if that was your only option) compared to buying a Fluidampr? 6.7L Fluidampr's are going for, what, almost $600, depending on who you buy it from?
BTW, XDP lists the 6.7L Fluidampr for $457 on their site. http://www.xtremediesel.com/fluidamp...r920301-1.aspx

I have done the 6.7 damper upgrade, cost was under $300 for the standard 6.7 damper. Cost is about $500 for the 6.7 HO upgrade.
The parts needed are the 6.7 Damper and 6.7 fan pulley, I also put in new bolts but didn't add the barring tool.
The 6.7 damper made a nice difference, and my OEM damper was still in great shape. It smoothed out low rpms incredibly, there is no longer any vibration from the clutch, and I can just barely hear it. It made the motor quiet enough I now hear a tinge of timing rattle, something that I haven't heard since doing a turbo swap.
