Shop with Blessed Performance for the XDP Premium Balancer Series-Stock Replacement Harmonic Balancer for your 2011-2016 GM 6.6L LML Duramax diesel. The 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 considered near-steel strength material. Additionally, 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.
Highlights:
- Direct Fit Replacement
- Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Construction
- Constructed With Inserted And Pressure-Bonded Rubber
- Superior Bonding Strength Between The Inner And Outer Balancer Rings
Tech Notes:
Vehicle 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.
Deterioration of the Rubber Damper:
The 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.
Engine Rebuild:
When 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.
