6CTA 8.3 - Check your balancer pulley / vibration dampers

[Jason O]

Hello Everyone

I noticed my drive belt was not alligned and beginning to fray. The vibration damper/ harmonic balancer began to seperate at the rubber layer, and the outer section moved away from the engine a 1/4 inch. Replacing the balancer is an easy repair and does not require a puller to remove it from the crankshaft.

This may be worth a look next time your doing a P.M.
