ok i was hollowing out my CAT, and i thought i had everything out, but it was stumbling/running rough, so i thought i still had a piece in there since i could hear rattling.....well i kept looking in with a flashlight, and could see nothing....

I went to the front of the truck and MY ****IN HARMONIC BALANCER BROKE....the piece that goes behind the pulley (i believe its the balancer) totally separated from it, and now just dangles there....


figures....this truck is one problem after another....i cant keep up with this piece of **** truck....

 

At least its an easy fix.......

 

yea but im getting ****ed at work, and they owe me money....so i really dont have the money to replace it right now, and i have rent in 3 days......i already poped the bolt out and slide the old one out a little bit, but now i just need a new one, and NO ONE in my area has one....have to travel to be able to get one, adn i have no way to travel right now....

i hate my truck

 

does it5 at least sound better get it back togeether would be a good time to do yout timing chain also

 

dont have the money for it....i have to take money out of my rent to get the ****in balancer @ $95 bucks....ridiculous prices.....but when i get it back together, im selling it, im all done with this dodge piece of ****

 

get one at a junk yard.

 

at a junkyard they still want $60+.....id rather get a new one...

 

I had my balancer go bad on my '94 5.9L this summer. Cost me $25 for a used one that looked new from a junkyard. Find another junkyard that price is really high. I also think I found new ones for $75 at one of the big automotive chains.

 

I know your pissed off but you have to remember your truck is 16 years old. Things happen. Today for instants I went to the kitchen to get a soda and smelled a burning smell, my damn fridge was smoking! So I had to go to Lowes and drop a grand on a fridge. Look at the bright side of things hell my house could have burnt down.

 

I can pick one up for you at my JY. They want $40 + $10 shipping, maybe even cheaper (I know some people who work there). I have no problem selling it at cost because I know what it's like to be in your shoes. Let me know.
