Default Fluid Dampner

Can anyone tell me the benefits of having these aftermarket Fluid Dampners? I mean is it like buying a cold air intake for a Duramax, as where it really only helps over like 600 or so rwhp? Or will this Fluid thing help out my 400+ truck?


Thanks!

Completely stock, full blown racing engine & everything in between. It does a terrific job of smoothing out the engine, eliminating the harmful vibrations. Was a big improvement in idle, in town and highway drives as far as smoothness on my engine!!!.

They should use these as original equipment. Diesels need all the vibration protection they can get, and these help. They are well worth the $400!!

I have always kind of thought the same thing, but it just doesnt ever seem to come up as a necessary mod.
