My part number as per Q/S is 4101884.

The couple sites I've found with the Cummins damper are approx $715-$750. Would that be about what you all had found cost wise? (Cant ask my local shops as they are through the roof on every damn thing....absolutely ridiculous the mark-up on their parts!)

Buy the OE dampener ONLY. The aftermarket dampeners are off balance and lesser quality and unless you are willing to risk your entire engine for the sake of $50-$200 then dont even think about it. Any KW or Pete or even Freightliner dealer can sell you the OE one and have it to your door pretty much next day.
