why does the '94 -'98.5 have a larger harmonic balancer?
I'm in the process of swapping all the accessories from a '96 12v to a '93 12v and noticed that the '96 has a larger balancer on the front of the crank. Anyone know why? And should I use the larger '96 balancer or the smaller '93 one?
Thanks

Thats what I was planning, but why did they change it I thought maybe it was just for reduced vibrations or something. Is the '93 flywheel different?

I think I answered my own question, southbend lists the same clutch/flywheel from '88 up.

LOL, someone should have installed some learnin' into that engineer

I was looking at both of the harmonic balancers and they do NOT have a pin or anything on them so they can be installed in any position relative to the crank. Is it safe to assume that means they are neutrally balanced?
If I install the smaller balancer on the newer truck will it throw off my tach reading since the sensor will be closer to the crank center?
I also found some info stating that cummins has 2 different styles of balancer 1 for engine speeds above 2500 and 1 for engine speeds below. does anyone change the balancer when they install a 4k governor kit?
