Ac delco vs Napa harmonic balancer?

Also the oil filter adapter o rings I only see one o ring on the adapter it's the big one where do the two small ones go ?
 
My solution? IDK your income situation, but if you can put away a little bit a month to dump on the truck, I would highly suggest appling for the Paypal "Bill me Later" deal where if you pay it off in full within 6 months, no interest is charged, basically an interest free loan if you play it right.

I personally did this myself, and I got it paid off and it worked out great.

That said, I will never spend money on a rubber type main harmonic damper, as unless its on its last leg, it will be getting a Fluidampr anyways, so why spend the money delaying the inevitable? :) I will monitor the condition of the OEM damper, and when it looks the least bit iffy, it will be time for a Fluidampr.

I have 2 Fluidamprs waiting to go on, 1 allready on, and my old man, one who is very cheap, one who plots ways of re-using my 3000 mile oil, as it "isnt used up yet" runs 2 Fluidamprs on 2 of his 6.5Ls, so IMO that speaks volumes in itself on the quality and overall "value" of the Fluidampr, as my old man wont spend anything if he doesnt have to. :)

I already got the ac delco one bolted up I mean every one says 100k the OEM one should last well I don't drive that much and even when I start diesel school I won't be driving to school home and work. I only ever use my truck to pull a boat trailer is if I can't use my parents expedition. I'm all for better quality but not right know at this moment.
 
Its actually an SFI approved balancer. They make an OEM replacement for about $60. They're website also indicates they build a street performance version but didn't do enough looking to see if they made one for the 6.5

I saw that but why pay $300 for a rubber one when for another $100 or so, you can have an FD. :cool:
 
I'm kinda interested to see if they have the street version available. Our engines don't really need an SGI rated balancer so just a good heavy duty one would be fine with me.
 
Yeah, I would like an option in between the expense of a FD balancer, yet better than the AC Delco.

bdemutis, was that the AC Delco, if so what part number?

That is GM's (AC Delco's) number. imo expect 100,000 miles, but watch it still to be safe.
