DMF verses Single

I spend most of my time over in the IDI forum, and whenever this question comes up, there are a couple of guys that say a Single mass flywheel will destroy a ZF5 tranny over time from the pulses of the diesel engine. I have never heard of anyone losing their tranny from a single mass conversion, ever. I have converted 5 trucks over to single mass fw, and love them. I keep recomending the conversion, and they keep saying the above. So my question is has anyone evere heard of the SMF destroying a ZF5?
I know there are a ton of you guys that have the SMF, and some of you make more power than the old IDIs can.

OK, 50 views and no replies. I"ll take that as no one has heard of the single mass flywheel destroying a ZF.

Viewer 51 here, I can't help you. But I am sure you will get plenty of replies as soon as as all the Zf5er's get back from church.

i have had to replace my dmf, i did so because that is what it had when it went out. and didnt know there was an option ( this was about 4 yrs ago) i was at ford two weeks ago , the parts guy there said when they have a truck that is out of warranty they replace with smf. as far as them destroying a tranny nothing was mentioned about that. and if ford dealer is converting them must not be that bad.
