Which are better and why?

I am getting ready to install a Fluidampr and have a new 4 bolt pack of the Cummins OE bolts

Should I return them for the ARP bolts?

ARP

$16.80

Cummins
#3903857

For that amount use the ARPs. Cummins are a bit more.

The arp's look like it's per bolt and washer. If you already have the oe bolts use those.

The stock Cummins bolts are TTY, so I am not confident on re-using them on my new Fluidampr

Its only 4 bolts and $20

Just use the new Cummins bolts. There are plenty of high hp guy's running stock bolts.

Arp so you can use them more than once.

I can not say what the real benefit is yet as I just swapped to the ARP's on my new build. I will recommend to do the second dowl pin though. I will never do another one with out adding the second pin.

What's the deal on not adding the second pin??
I had planned to not add another but if you have a horror story let us know.

I have seen more than one come loose with only the factory pin and they were not pushing crazy rpms.

I have picked up my fluid damper off the ground twice. I dont think the arp bolts are a must, but installing all four pins are in my opinion.

Looks like I'll be ordering the pin kit today.

Or any of you guys have one you want to let go?
