I saw absolutely no improvement in 'smoothness' and I've read tons of posts in the past reporting the same results. I did notice that the engine doesn't want to rev up as fast as it did before I put it on, probably due to the extra rotating mass. In fact, when the 3.0 goes in, the DMD won't.



I did not say the DMD protects against excessive crank vibration but I did install the DMD for that reason (just in case). Even if the DMD does not protect against excessive crank vibration, the DMD is worth it due to the smoother feel of the drain train. I definitely noticed a much smoother feel in the drive train of my 2000 SVT after I installed the DMD. I love how smooth my engine revs up with the DMD. I even had a CEL go off after I installed it. I just reset the CEL and the CEL never came back. I forgot the code but it was something with cylinder #5 misfire.

That is my experience. I guess you experienced nothing with your DMD. On one note, Ford did put the DMD on their cars in Europe. There must be some reason why. Ford does not just reengineer a part for nothing, trust me on that one. It may of just been for smoothness or some other reason.
