Fluid Damper
This thread is timely for me. My sweet bumper mounted FSD cooler set up I noticed vibrating appreciably at idle on my Tahoe. I checked the Sub at idle as a comparator and it was solid as a rock at idle; no vibration whatsoever. The vibration is so pronounced on the FSD cooler on the Tahoe I worry about the FSD's longevity: I have applied a temporary fix of 'lashing' the farthest end of the cooler away from it's mounting to the bumper with some line and a spring to the available holes at the bottom of the bumper, we'll see the results.
I was shocked at the difference of vibration on the Tahoe at idle vs the Sub. When throttle is brought on on the Tahoe it smooths out fabulously throughout the RPM's.
Question: could my rubber damper on the Tahoe be headed south?
I may be in the market for this fluid damper sooner than I had anticipated.
Also, how tough of a job is the replacement of the OEM fluid damper, looks like an old harmonic balancer to me and would be a similar job.
Thanks.
