I had a timing cover gasket fail and upon removing the balancer realized that the rubber strip in it has degraded and was falling out. I have heard stories o people getting bad balancers and ruining a perfectly good engine, just looking for suggestions on where to order one with minimal risk of it being faulty. I have spent too much time and money (don't all Ram owners) to let a balancer take the old girl out.

This ones at NAPA, I don't believe it even has the rubber in it, think its just a solid piece. Plus it has the pulley as part of it, which is good
