| HELP - Dampner on 428CJ |
| By Rich Kutzner - 02/06/2002 5:44:23 PM; IP 63.64.219.142 |
Anyone like to share experiences with aftermarket dampners on FEs, especially 428CJs?
I tried to research aftermarket dampners for my 428CJ and first bought a TCI Rattler. Other options were ATI and Fluidampner. TCI 'tech' reps misled me into thinking I didn't need a spacer and the pulley bolt pattern would work. They were clueless and wrong. So now I have an ATI super dampner, they said all I had to do was cut my crank sleeve(behind the dampner) back. They all said that, actually. And ATI had a part number for FE versus using a '385' series one like the other guys. So I buy their pulley adapter for my application and the 6 3/8" aluminum dampner. Upon checking heights, it has the same dimensions as the stock one and puts the pulley EXACTLY where it needs to be. Every critical measurment is the same. It's a little thicker overall but goes in deeper in the back where it hits the sleeve. Anyways, other than having to elongate the holes a hair on the pulley (it will be centered by the dampner like the stock one), it seems to be a perfect fit. Anyone have similar circumstances? |
