I think that has to do with OBDII trucks. Those are the only trucks that I've seen with it. Maybe that will help you at least a little.

Those balancers can be rare as hen's teeth. I am not aware if you can mount/press the reluctor onto an earlier version balancer. This may be a Ford only part unfortunately.

Yeah. It's a 96 5.0 F-150/bronco only balancer. Nothing else will work.
The aluminum ring is not really needed for the truck to run but it WILL set a code.
How does he know it spun?

DamperDudes.net (Americas Largest supplier of harmonic balancers)
