5.9 Harmonic balancer
Went t a friends house the other day and when he drove up in his 2002 5.9 Dakota, it was squeaking rhythmically. Since the noise was coming from the engine, I know it wasn't someone fooling around inside.
After some investigation, I found this:
And this:
It looks to me like the harmonic balancer is coming apart. In the second picture, it looks like it is actually rubbing on the timing mark indicator boss and in the first picture, it sure looks to me like that is freshly exposed rubber. If i'm wrong, let me know, but I think we need a new HB. And if so, is there a preferred supplier?
Thanks.

on some balancers, the pulley is mounted to the balancer by 6 bolts, and the entire assembly is held on the crank by one 32mm bolt. On others, the pulley is pressed on the balancer, and the whole assembly still has the 32mm crank bolt.
The difference is when you get a replacement.
