NOTE: Vibratech leaves their precision dampers unpainted to maintain perfect balance, improve heat dissipation, prevent flaking, and preserve OEM‑grade performance. The Viscous crankshaft damper converts torsional vibration into heat. They rely on the steel housing to shed that heat efficiently. Paint acts as an insulator, which can trap heat and reduce long‑term performance. Leaving the damper unpainted ensures maximum thermal dissipation.

- FAQ: What happens if I choose not to change the damper on my 2001 to 2024 Cummins ISX, ISX15, and X15 Engine? If you choose not to replace your Viscous Crankshaft Damper, the destructive torsional vibrations may lead to a cracked or broken crankshaft, valve train problems, and premature bearing wear.

- Manufacturer: Vibratech TVD
- Product Note: The Torsional Vibration Damper on your Cummins ISX engine is a wear item that requires replacement at the 500,000-mile mark. The installation of a new Damper is strongly recommended in an effort to eliminate harmful torsional crankshaft vibration and ensure trouble-free operation. The replacement of the engine crankshaft damper is often overlooked during the In-Frame overhaul process due to costs. We at KLM Performance come across two different types of customers: the ones who choose to purchase a replacement viscous crankshaft damper and the ones who wish they had. The second customer is the one now dealing with a damaged crankshaft and other serious engine failures.

Customer Reviews
I have a really good mechanic but he didn't think I needed to replace my balancer, well maybe I didn't but I can tell you this the new one MOST DEFINITELY smoothed out my engine.
Fidel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing KLM Performance for your Cummins ISX/X15 Crankshaft Damper replacement.
We completely understand your initial doubts. Crankshaft dampers are often overlooked because they typically wear out gradually over time, making it difficult to notice their declining performance until a new damper is installed. That's why we're especially pleased to hear that the difference was immediately noticeable and that your engine is now running smoother.
The damper you purchased is one of the highest-quality American-made viscous crankshaft dampers available for the Cummins ISX and X15 platform. Its purpose is to help control the harmful torsional vibrations that are present in all diesel engines. By absorbing and dampening these vibrations, it helps promote smoother engine operation and supports the long-term durability of critical engine components.
Your feedback is especially valuable because it highlights something many owners and technicians discover only after replacement: even when a damper doesn't appear to have failed, restoring its vibration-control capabilities can result in noticeably smoother engine performance.
Thank you again for your business, your trust, and for sharing your experience with the trucking community. We truly appreciate your support and wish you many miles of smooth, reliable operation ahead.
Sincerely,
The KLM Performance Team
I order this damper for my isx 871. Mines was over due
Get this one and is super solid unit, I don’t like the fact that is not painted or even primed but at least the price reflects it.
Thank you for leaving a review! We're happy to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of our Cummins ISX X15 Crankshaft Damper. We understand your concern about it not being painted, but we want to assure you that this Vibratech replacement damper is designed for superior performance. Vibratech prioritizes engineering integrity over cosmetic appearance, which is why our dampers are sold without paint. This ensures perfect balance, maximum heat dissipation, and OEM-grade performance. Thank you for choosing KLM!

Had a hard time finding this product, but found it at KLM - and at a discount!
Kevin is quick to reply and solve any issues you may have. The product is solid, quality through and through. This is actually the second one I purchased and the only reason I replaced it was because of doing a complete inframe and wanted everything new. Highly recommend KLM Performance and all products they supply.
