    bb dodge damper

     



    i am using a bb dodge industrial damper on my blown slantsix, the problem is i have split one down the keyway and the second one has a hair line crack forming, can a stock damper stand up to the strain of a blower belt and pully or should i be running a aftermarket steel crank hub that is only for attaching the drive pullies?

    If you're running a Gilmer belt drive, you don't need a harmonic damper. The belt takes care of the harmonics.

    thanks pat , i have found both a crank hub from BDS FOR 115$ AND ATI ON SUMMIT SITE FOR 259$. I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED SOME SORT OF DAMPER NO MATTER WHAT YOU WERE RUNNING?

    I was told the same thing by BDS, no damper needed.

    Wow, just noticed the post was from 2008! Not a lot of activity in the category, one page of posts goes back to 2007. I'm off to Moparstyle...

    it is not going to hurt any thing running the damper so the way i see it your better to have a damper then not and just run the hub only and hope
