Hey all,
1996 5.0L engine. I need to replace my harmonic balancer but all of the ones listed as compatible to my truck/engine will not work. The taper diameter/depth on the inside of the balancer does not match up with the taper on my crankshaft, nor the taper diameter/depth of the balancer that I removed. It hardly even slips onto the crank.
I've attached two images. The orange-ish colored balancer is my old one. The clean one is the new one I got from Rockauto here (PN ATP 102140).
All of the other balancers listed for my engine look to have the shallow taper as well.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
