    I had 1.02 million on the original and could tell a big difference with the new one on. Regardless if you buy cat oem or vibratech from Haney you need to get one on there. $500 is very cheap compared to breaking a crank and ruining the block. and Haney's not too far off in price from OEM Chinese special..

    The mercury is in the balancer, not the dampner. The balancer should never need to be replaced after you put one on. The dampner, no matter the brand, will need to be replaced over time.

    i just replaced the damper on my 05 c15 acert. i have 574000 on the truck. it took me about 4 hours on saturday 9-10. i have a load on monday 9-12 so i will know more about how its running then. the motor does seem to idle smoother with the new damper on it.... oh btw i spent $295 on a new pull off from midwest diesel. with shipping it was a lil over $300. figure the oem style will last me another 500000. by then the truck will prolly be over 10 years old and ill either get a newer one or get out of trucking.

    Are you looking for a damper or balancer...they are two different parts. Just look for the thread with a title about Mr. Haney and look for his posts then just PM him.
     
    Big John Thanks this.

    Well I have over 900k miles on my truck and I have a bad cab vibration, laying in the sleeper is like laying on a cheap vibrating bed.

    If anyone can find the post about the Vibratech Dampner and Balance Masters crankshaft balancer ring not working on the cat c-15 600-625hp cats due to it hitting the belt tensioner, please forward to me. I have read this, but can not find again.
    Thank you
