    One of my driver mavs had the wrong flywheel and the guy drove it that way. I noticed it right away but he didn`t or least didn`t admit it. If it didn`t vibrate before I would call flywheel.

    What 5.0 came with a 164 tooth flywheel?

    In a word YES. The wrong balance flywheel will cause drive-train vibration and left as is can cause bearing wear or failure and other problems.

    He is probably confusing a flywheel with a flexplate...
