So the harmonic balancer slipped and moved back and started hitting the cover and whatever else is in the way. ordered parts and going to do it this wknd. wanted to ask what others have had happen when this occurs. don't know if it took out the timing cover but ill find out. oh and curious what harmonic balancer others have used to replace it. I ordered one from Summit and it has the weight bolted to the center hub, its not SFI but its better than stock.

Thanks

 

well fixed the truck this wknd. so the rubber in the damper totally came out and the outer ring took out the waterpump and the timing cover. the after market damper i ordered used some steel ring machined with snap ring grooves for the pulley to rest against and some small round spacers that go over the bolts that weren't included so needless to say i ended up going with a stock replacement. point of this is to let people know to look at the harmonic damper every once and a while to keep this from happening. its definitely one of those parts that never are thought about until they go bad.
