bhc. I noticed you're running a larger style balancer on yours. Does it make a difference? Mine only has the thin little damper that it came with from the factory. I was going to put one of those on mine, but several people said I don't need it. Anyone have any opinions on this? I parked my truck tonight and going to start removing the sheet metal so while it's apart, I will change it out if needed.
