Thinking about buying it. I read the reviews. Everyone said it's great however someone said it doesn't replace the dampner which leads to engine noise. What would you do about this?
Yes, the RA has a stock harmonic pulley, which acts as a dampener against vibration on the crank. The stock crank is semi balanced although the balance shafts in the RA engine do the primary job of dampening true vibration amd balance of the whole engine. The stock pulley is meant to smooth idle out and keep vibrations inside the cab happy. If you notice any increase in vibration, it will be very little. I say go for it...I love mine
wow this was a great idea. highly recommended. noticeable increase in power at mid range. wasn't too hard to install. the only problem i had was getting the original pulley off. it was frozen, you need a special tool for it, i dont know what it's called but the mechanic next door had one and what took me over an hour of failed attempts took him only 1 second. i also figured it would be a good idea to change the belts, mine were a little worn. it may be my imagination, but i believe there is just the smallest bit of vibration in the clutch pedal (only when i rest my foot on it) that i never noticed before. could this be related to pulley?
Thanks for the thread.. I was up in the air about getting one. But now I know I want one. It sounds like a good investment!
