Nope. I still stand by my opinion that main intent of the DMD is to address NVH issues. I know that it is much more expensive than the regular damper. That's probably why it's only used on higher priced or higher class vehicles where the customer expects a smoother, quieter engine. As such, it's not standard equip. on the Taurus, Escape, or Cougar.
