This one has absolutely no damping whatsoever. I can move the rod with two fingers.

Engine torque damper
Took a pic of the one on my "spare" '83 LD28:

Ok, so it's really a little baby shock absorber. I didn't recall that mine looked like that but I'll bet you're right. I'll have a look under the car next time I'm outside...in our newly fallen snow.

If this thing plays out, does your car shake when you kill the engine? If so, mine is worn out.

They are probably all shot, by this time.
Mine is shot on the '82 Wagon, and the engine shakes the car pretty good at shutdown, but I don't know how the torque damper could improve that.

What about the 83? Does it shake too?asavage wrote:They are probably all shot, by this time.

Does anyone else's car do this or have a comment about it?
I had never driven one of these cars until I bought my wagon a couple of months ago. I noticed the shake when I returned from test driving the car and thought, "OK that's got to be fixed". You wouldn't think that they shook like that when they were new but, for all I know they may have.

I have never found it objectionable myself. Diesels stop hard. A Cummins pickup will actually chirp the serpentine belt because they stop so hard. My Jeep has a motorized butterfly that functions much like the butterfly on the Maximas except it also closes on shutdown for a soft stop.

MB used an anti-shudder valve for shutdown on some models.
I,too, have heard several Dodge/Cummins shutdown serp belts chirp.
