I replaced my stock GM harmonic balancer—Big Difference!
So I had been debating on replacing the stock harmonic balancer for a Fluidampr (Part No. 720121) But the predominance of the information out there essentially boiled down to: Fluidampr's are really good, but they cost too much and for what, just a little improvement?
Well I am here to call (redacted).
Edit: Well I am here to say that that has not been my experience. The change was immediately noticeable.
My wife took one ride in the truck afterward and immediately asked, "What did you do to it? It’s quieter." That sealed it, The Fluidampr was well worth the money. I mean, I could tell, but her?
Now after 9 months of driving, I can say the difference is real: smoother idle, less vibration, and it just feels stronger overall. Well worth it if you’re considering a new harmonic balancer. But hey, there is always time to do it twice for more money.
ALSO
I have refrained from posting here on SteelSoldiers because of the poor treatment I received from moderators the last time I posted what I felt was good info. (Someone didn't like my words)
However, I felt that the "Troops" here deserved to hear about my experience with this product.
