    Good point on the damper, and the 2 rebuild disasters were at truck dealerships not cat dealers. They may of had better luck at a cat dealer, I don't know. These were 30k + rebuilds and then no warranty? They took it better than I would have.

    I used it in my truck, it’s garbage and uses oil, nothing but cat parts; they never failed me

    I’m so pissed, I spent over 30k on parts for my 5ek; I’m not happy; I got fooled. The engine only got 635HP to the ground so it’s not crazy, I add 1.5 gallon of oil between oil change and I never go over 10000 mi on oil
