Hey buddy l just have a question! Does the harmonic balancer can go bad? If yes. For what reason?? And if it gos bad can make a vibration on the truck??

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yes and yea! They get hardened up with age. Could also be tires. Try this, with truck parked and at idle, stuck a half gal of water on valve cover. It should be pretty smooth. If it looks really rough it’s prob the balancer and maybe a over hear needed. If it’s pretty smooth, then I’d check tires and driveline bearings

[@michaelwright1602]

Cummins recommends replacing the vibration damper every 500,000 miles. There is a viscous fluid inside of the balancer, no way to really test. Once that fluid hardens, there is a possibility of it coming apart. It is rare, but does happen. Also, when replacing, the damper needs to be painted, no paint, no warranty. And it is difficult to read the timing marks on a painted damper, a rusted up one, forget it, so paint it. And your accessories and pulleys will thank you, a bad damper has a tendency of popping belts.

[@livetoridecando]

If that has the ceramic fuel pump, you should have replaced it. If it goes out you just replace the entire engine.
