The old 7.3-liter Power Stroke is famous for being nearly indestructible, which is why you still see so many of them on the road. But after decades of work and often a few performance mods, the stock harmonic balancer can become a major weak link.

To address this, ATI Performance Products has just released an updated Super Damper for Ford’s legendary diesel, a crucial upgrade for protecting the engine’s crankshaft.

Solution for a Wide Range of Trucks

The new ATI Super Damper (Part #918893) is a direct, bolt-on replacement for the factory harmonic balancer on a huge range of Ford trucks and vans.

The application list covers nearly the entire 7.3-liter production run, including 1995-2003 F-Series and E-Series trucks and vans, as well as the 2000-2003 Ford Excursion. It is an OEM-sized, 7.10-inch unit with an integrated 8-groove serpentine drive, making it a straightforward swap for the original part.

Why the ATI Super Damper for Ford is Different

Your stock damper was only designed to work with a stock engine at stock rpm. When you start adding tunes, bigger turbos, or just work the truck hard, you create crankshaft vibrations that the factory part can’t handle.The ATI Super Damper is built to control those vibrations across the entire rpm range, which is why it’s SFI 18.1 certified for racing. It’s a serious upgrade over the stock piece.

A Rebuildable Design

ATI has been making these elastomer dampers for nearly 30 years, and they build them to last. Unlike the factory part that you throw away when it wears out, this new Super Damper for Ford trucks is fully rebuildable.

Every piece, from the steel shell to the internal rings, can be replaced. It’s designed to be the last balancer you’ll ever need to buy for your truck.

Protecting Your Power Stroke

A good harmonic damper is cheap insurance for your engine’s crankshaft. By keeping those harmful twisting vibrations in check, the ATI Super Damper helps protect your main bearings and prevents a potential catastrophic failure down the road.

For anyone with a high-mileage or modified 7.3-liter Power Stroke, this new damper is a smart way to protect the legendary engine and keep it running strong for years to come.
