Fluidamper question

I know the fluidamper is a good mod, keeps vibration down, and makes the truck quieter at idle. But does it makes a differance you can hear or feel at highway speeds? I know it is good for the motor even if you cant hear or feel it but I just wondering what to expect as I am thinking of ordering one.

Thanks

I am following. It always comes into discussion when guys install aftermarket clutches, it seems. After I install my DD3250, if it is really loud like the Valair single I had, I will really look into it.

I ordered one last week for the 06. I figure if it helps keep the engine a little more happy, it's well worth it.

It does make a difference in how smooth the engine runs. I noticed right off how much more quite it is and it doesn't shake/rattle as much. If you look at Fluidamprs site, you can see the difference in it and the OEM damper.... it'd say it's worth it

Are these a worthwhile upgrade for a pretty much stock engine? Or are they more for beefed up engines?

So all the added weight from the FD isn't just as bad for the motor/bearings? I guess extra weight isn't as bad for the motor as all the vibrations?
