Default Harmonic Balancer

I have a Dodge V-10 3500 2001 dually that is in need of a Harmonic balancer which I can't find, but I was told that the 360 would work any suggestions on the matter or help? Thanks for the help

These folks can rebuild yours to be better than new - I've used them in the past and was very happy with their work - https://www.damperdoctor.com/ - you can call them and sometimes they have a balancer for your application in-stock and ready to ship.

Just FYI, Rock Auto shows a harmonic balancer (Dorman 594787) but it's out of stock. Also, the 360 is a different part number and likely won't work for the V-10. You can Google search that part number to see if you find it. Seems that AutoZone has them for about $162, but it must be ordered and wait a week or so for delivery.

Thank you for your reply, yes all the automotive shops are out of stock as well as dealership. I was trying not to spend 500.00 just on the part@ damper doc.

You can also go used by finding the balancer via car-part.com. car-part.com is inventory from salvage yards from all across the country and beyond, if needed. There are several listed there (a couple were listed as new, believe it or not), but to be sure that the item is still in their inventory, you will need to call them directly and inquire. Good luck.. Unfortunately, some of the Dodge V10 engine parts are becoming harder to locate.

MOPAR 53020776AB

V-8 is completely different.
Found a couple on EBay for +-300USD Got a smoking deal on a spare awhile back, guess I'll hold on to it. Good luck.

A 360 engine is balanced differently than anything else. Even another small block like the 5.2 318.
