Changed the belt out about a year ago because it was older and that one went bad two days ago chewed up on the inside even the two day old belt is already starting to rip a little on the inside edge as well

so I decided to look at all pulleys while moving and the damper pulley seems to have too much play

can it be bad ? is this a common problem or anyone heard of such a thing before ?

the part is a dealer only part so far and its $420

Anywhere else you know of sell them if I do need a new one ?

This is on the 24V

I have a fluidampr the reason i needed one was on shut down it would squeak. Mine was 412.00. http://www.klmperformance.com/fluidampr/harmonic-fluid-damper-fluidampr.htm I didnt get mine here ^ just wanted to show you. So to answer your question yes they go bad. Mine did not shread my belt. Make sure everything else is ok.

There is a way to inspect the damper... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/maintenance/damper/damper.htm

Oh a squeak is something mine does at shut down as well

My 01 squeeks everytime also, dont think it's a big deal because it will squeek when belt is old and new. And maybe my tensioner is a little week but it has not efected anything in 5 years Ive had it. My 05 does not squeek

My truck has squeeked on shut down since it was new. Still does. I wonder about the idler pully, I had one fail on a Ford Ranger (2.2 natural diesel (no turbo). Not sure if the pivot wore first or the ball bearings but both were junk when it came out.

I tried to figure out if it was bad today but no luck other than seeing it shake while running so I ended up taking it to my friend's shop who looked at it and said it does need replacementNow where can I get one for a deal ? I am so broke its not even funny :banghead:

try rockauto.com.

try rockauto.com.

Thanks for the link all the places I looked at had them for $400 + and Rockauto got one there for $117 can that be true ?

I go through these things every few years. You can see the rubber coming out when they get old.

i was wondering what you think of the fluidamper. i have been thinking about getting one for my truck.

I have one, years of use with 3000+ rpm no trouble. Solved my squeak problem at shut down.

thanks for the info. ill keep this in mind.

The shut down squeak is GONE after the damper was changed old one did not look all that beat to me !
