Anyone care to recommend a harmonic balancer? My truck is not high performance oriented, or "pushing the limits" in any particular way. But, I've noticed one parts vendor had a dozen different balancers ranging in price from $80.00 to $450.00.

It reminds me of going down the salad dressing isle at the grocery store, holy hell where do I begin?

I'm assuming that a "high performance" balancer is designed to operate at higher rpms. Other than that can anyone describe what is to be gained by a $450.00 balancer? ...other than the cool rattle snake sticker.

 

A remanufactured stock one is all you need.

 

You will go faster with the high performance version because your wallet will be lighter.

 

Problem then is, his wallet will be to thin and he won't be able to reach the go pedal ...

-Enjoy

There's also a little bit of you get what you pay for. When I rebuilt my old 390 I went through two Dorman brand balancers before I found out they were .007" undersized. I believe I went with a professional products brand balancer after that.
