The other day I was checking my fluids and noticed the crankshaft pulley wobbling. Did a quick search and it looks like the harmonic balancer needs replacing. Where the hell do I find a new one? I've checked Summit and the local parts stores and only found the 1 piece for the 5.9L. From what I've read the balancer for the 360 and 318 are different but I seem to only be able to find one for the 360. I checked and the pulley is bolted to the balancer.

I have a '99 Ram 1500 Sport with the 318.

thanks

 

Check the junk yards in your area for a good used one. This part certainly doesn't have to be new. If you would like to have your existing balancer rebuilt, check these folks out:

I used them several years ago to rebuild a slant 6 balancer and they did an excellent job with it.

 

I'm parting out my 1997 w/ a 318, so PM me if you can find they use the same harmonic balancer.
