I've been hunting down this vibration for a while and it is now pointing to the wrong harmonic balancer. Truck is a 91 f350 that was originally na then re motored with a promar idi-t motor. The new motor got the balancer off the old motor and now I have been told that the turbo is supposed to use a different one. Any body know where to get a new one balanced for the turbo motor? Initial findings are showing one part # for idi hb.

Does that mean you tried and failed to find a new one to buy? What routes did you try that didn't work so that I can refine my search. Thanks

No I needed an engine anyway and was lucky that most of it was turbo specific but it was hurt engine, exhaust seat cracked, locked up, rebuilt fred jones motor, .020 I used the parts on my block, mine had machine work done already.
Still have the block, bores in good shape.

Might try the international dealer near you. They can do a nationwide search for you too. Best bet is knowing what to look for when chasing this down too.

There is a picture posted on my weird vibe thread. Looks like the turbo one has a larger solid section but idk.

Thanks gonecrazy, looks like russ is gonna hook it up tho. Big relief I have people that know the difference on it ;Sweet. Nobody in the parts world can see there is different ones. It's a discontinued part obviously
