I had a harmonic balancer installed at a Dodge dealership and it flew off the crank 6 months later is that normal? The truck does have 230000

Nope. Not normal. Apparently, they didn't properly torque it.

They said it was torqued and I watched them torque it but never thought about rechecking it.

If there as some dirt, or any other contaminates in there, it may have torqued to spec, then the contaminates wash out, and it's loose.....

Ya that makes sense. How often should you check the torque?

If it is properly installed, you shouldn't ever have to worry about it.....
