Why your engine needs a crankshaft Fluidampr for your truck? 5.9L/6.7L Cummins Truck.
Each time the air/fuel mixture inside a cylinder is ignited, the combustion that occurs creates a torque spike that is applied to the crankshaft through the piston and rod. This torque spike is so severe that it not only turns the crankshaft, it actually twists the crankshaft ahead of its normal rotation and then the crankshaft rebounds. This twisting action is known as torsional vibration. When these torque spikes and forces get into phase with the natural frequency, critical torsional harmonic vibrations occur and can be seriously destructive to the bearings and the crankshaft. Dampers are designed to control those destructive vibrations.
A new Fluidampr on your diesel truck will not only protect your engine from destructive torsional vibrations but will also increase TORQUE & HORSEPOWER. High performance diesel engines running chips and programmers are exceptionally vulnerable to torsional vibrations. Save your crank & more by installing a new Fluidampr today.
The best dampers on the market are manufactured in the U.S.A. by Horschel Motorsports, an ISO 9001:2000 certified facility. HM is continuing the tradition that started in 1946, when the first viscous damper was invented. Over 4 million viscous dampers have been made for heavy-duty diesel, drag car, stock car, street machine, race boat and other high performance engines.

![Cool 7.3L Ford Powerstroke Twin Turbo Tractor at SEMA
In a world divided between those who revel in the flashy, wild creations of SEMA and those who prefer more modest pursuits, there comes a moment when the boundaries blur and expectations shatter. Brian Rogers, the CEO of Firewire LEDs, found himself at the crossroads of these two worlds, poised to create something truly extraordinary for the SEMA show, an event known for pushing the limits of automotive innovation.
Brian had never ventured into the realm of building something for SEMA. He had always considered it a challenge to find a project that hadnt already been explored in the world of extreme automotive customization. But this year, something changed within him, a spark of inspiration that set his imagination on fire.
He took to his Facebook page to announce, Ive never built anything for myself to take to SEMA. Mostly because its really hard to find something that hasnt been done. But not this year. His words were cryptic, intriguing, hinting at a revelation that was about to shake the automotive community.
What Brian had in mind was nothing short of extraordinary—an audacious project that defied convention. His canvas for this masterpiece was a 1948 Ford 8N tractor, a family heirloom that had been passed down through the generations. Brians great-grandfather had purchased it brand new, and it had been a fixture on their farm ever since.
The tractor held sentimental value for Brian, as it had been the very first vehicle he had ever driven. But instead of preserving it as a relic of the past, he harbored an unconventional vision—to transplant an old-school 7.3-liter Power Stroke engine into this venerable machine.
I had the crazy idea for a 7.3 engine, and of course, [I have] to use twin turbos, Brian explained with a grin. I mean, it is SEMA, so we had to go big. And go big, they did. To accommodate the newfound power and style, they upgraded the rear wheels to colossal 28x16-inch TIS rims, and for that ultimate off-road experience, they chose imposing 44-inch Interco Boggers.
The project, for now, existed solely as a rendering—an artists conception of what could be. But if Brians vision were to come to life even remotely close to what was depicted, the world would witness the birth of one of the coolest tractors ever to grace the automotive stage.
Imagine the roar of the 7.3-liter Power Stroke engine as it came to life within the iconic Ford 8N chassis. Envision it hooked to a sled, the engine bellowing in defiance as it tore through the dirt, leaving a trail of amazement in its wake.
As Brian and his team worked tirelessly to turn this extraordinary vision into a tangible reality, the anticipation among automotive enthusiasts grew. The 1948 Ford 8N tractor was about to transcend its humble agricultural origins and become a symbol of innovation, heritage, and the audacity to dream big. SEMA 2021 was poised to welcome an unrivaled masterpiece, one that would forever be etched in the annals of automotive history.
