Well that's kind of a roundabout of where they came from. Both Camstyn and I bought Vibratech dampers from Artic Truck Parts. ATP is a puke-dits dealer, so that is where they source the dampers from. They can't buy the Vibratech direct as Dave's Diesel Repair in Edmonton has the exclusive Vibratech (and the other stuff under the same umbrella) company dealership...and of course ATP won't buy from DDR, so they go to their vomit source and get them that way.

***my understanding is: The vomit company is just a reseller and has nothing to do with Vibratech's manufacturing, they are just a large customer of Vibratech. Wouldn't be the first or last time I was wrong though.

When I put my truck on DDR's dyno to diagnose and we found the problem, Dave wanted to know how the hell ATP was getting these dampers because of his exclusivity. He told me that he's only had one or two fail during the one year warranty, but he's had about 5 or 6 fail in total over his years as their dealer. He told me that their failure rate is basically the same as OEM Cat, so he thinks there a pretty good product.
If it fails again, the hell with the warranty, I'll buy OEM Cummins. Which will be too bad, because Vibratech's markings for A, B, C, IP, & TDC are so much easier to find than the OEM one. Cummins stamps theirs too lightly IMHO, where Vibratech machines the lines and letters in. Stevie Wonder could read it!
