96 dodge ram 1500 5.9l gall darn broke it
I was wondering your input on what exactly happened here. I was driving then all of a sudden I been getting loud clunking from the bottom of the motor and found this."attached" I dont think it is suppose to flop around and I have also noticed the truck run real rough when in gear. From what I think is something broke off and has something to do with the timing I think. Has lines on it like it would line up with the timing lines from the top view from under the hood. Please let me know how this can be fixed or what. It just free spins off from the crank.

But get the front tore down so you can inspect the full extent of the damage.

After looking closer at this harmonic balancer. I come to a conclusion that perhaps the harmonic balancer is made of parts. After looking at it more; it just spins and nothing looks broken. appears the part of the balancer that is pressed on is still on the shaft. "over" the balancer is the part the is just spinning flopping all around that has timing lines on it. Its as if a ring broke in between the 2 and now just flopping around. Could this be? Truck does actually run good accept for the vibrations from the outside part unbalancing the motor like a holahoop. Could I just take that off and leave it off? I hear that some "racers" feel it is more of a safety feature then a fix to vibrations.

Prefect, i wanted to know how it was put together. I will suck it up and pull that one out and put a new one in. I would really love to not break a crank shaft since i am lucky already that way. Thanks for all your help! You all are saving me money
