The Harmonic Balancer on Dodge Ram 3500 cars and trucks act in keeping the engines in balance as well as in reducing vibrations caused in the process of combustion. This component is in the form of a metal collar which is bolted to the crankshaft and contains a massive inertia ring and an outer rubber ring which performs a compensating movement to the twisting effect of the crankshaft. In the course of time, rubber gets worn out by heat and fluids and this will cause a tremendous vibration that can lead to crankshaft failure. Some Dodge Ram 3500 may employ various kinds of Harmonic Balancers, strict standard models and performance ones. Standard balancers are for factory engine, but performance harmonic balancers are manufactured to protect against greater engine vibrations at high RPMs in modified, engines. These performance options include the conventional, high viscosity fluid and multiple component models, the safety and efficacy of which have been proven in high performance applications.
