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.

Aftermarket was never an option, especially on something so critical. On the other hand, I'd rather not get shafted by the dealer either. Since i'm still 6 weeks or so out before performing the repair, I'm still on the hunt after returning the last 'new' damper I purchased.....(see the earlier posts within this thread).
