A harmonic balancer (also known as a crankshaft vibration damper) serves more than just the function of spinning the pulleys on an engine. It is designed to help eliminate engine harmonics, reducing vibrations that might otherwise transfer into the cab of your truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed of three primary components - the hub, the rubber damper, and the outer ring, the balancer is carefully calibrated through factors such as sizing and balance to help dampen engine power pulses and provide smooth engine operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XDP Premium Balancer Series are a direct-fit replacement and designed to deliver excellent strength and durability. In contrast to many other balancers that utilize inexpensive gray iron castings, XDP Premium Balancers are constructed using high-strength Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, while most OEM balancers rely on press-in dampening rubber that may fail under high-torque serpentine belt applications, XDP harmonic balancers use both inserted and pressure-bonded rubber that produces excellent rubber strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect Fit Replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructed With Inserted and Pressure-Bonded Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior Bonding Strength Between The Inner And Outer Balancer Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVehicle manufacturers often times simply recommend inspecting the damper every 30K miles or at set intervals. This can make it hard to determine when to physically replace the damper. When a harmonic balancer requires replacement, these are often some of the most common reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeterioration of the Rubber Damper:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rubber that binds the components of the balancer together is susceptible to degradation when exposed to oil, contaminants, extreme heat, dirt roads, or ozone damage. This deterioration can lead to improper balancer function, often manifesting as unexplained vibrations at idle or at higher speeds. A thorough inspection of the rubber can confirm the issue, and in such cases, the balancer may need to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Rebuild:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen rebuilding or remanufacturing an engine, it is crucial to replace the harmonic balancer to ensure optimal performance. Installing an old, worn balancer on a freshly rebuilt engine undermines the integrity of the rebuild and could result in undesirable vibrations. A new balancer ensures a smoother, longer-lasting operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXD703 Harmonic Balancer Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiming Marks: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall OD (In): 9.331\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose OD (In): 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Width (In): 2.402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrank Bore (In): 0.751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Width (In): 2.188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt Holes: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounterweight Balance: Neutral, No Counterweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. Of Integrated Pulleys: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulley Type 1: Serpentine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulley Grooves 1: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulley OD 1 (In): 7.875\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrank Trigger\/Exciter Plate: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Berry Performance \u0026 Accessories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541836677378,"sku":"XD703-HVCD","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/berryperformanceacc.com\/products\/premium-balancer-series-stock-replacement-harmonic-balancer-07-5-18-dodge-ram-with-6-7l-cummins-engine-xdp-xtreme-diesel-performance","provider":"Berry Performance \u0026 Accessories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
