We are simplifying your choice when you want a new Fluid Damper.
Note that all Fluid Dampers will now come with the Spacer for the DB2/mechanical applications, The balancer itself is exactly the same, so if you have a DS4/electronic w/PMD application you just won’t use the included spacer.
So, just click Buy It Now and if you want a front seal grab that below also.

Product Description
This is the Fluid damper harmonic balancer for the 6.2 and 6.5 diesel engines. It fits both the DS4 (electronic) and DB2 (Manual) injection pump equipped engines 1982-2002.
DB2 Mechanical IP will typically need the spacer while DS4 Electronic IP do not use the spacer.
The 6.5 crankshafts are known to be a weak point and if the original balancer stops working properly or comes apart (pretty common) the chance you will break the crankshaft go’s up tremendously.
Check your original harmonic balancer every oil change for bulging/cracked rubber. If you see signs that old harmonic balancer might “let go” then change it ASAP! Also, the stock type balancer should be changed every 100K miles.
Side note: As of 2025 if you have a 2002 application its already 23 years old! If you have a 1982 it is 43 years old! So if you have a stock balancer its just time to upgrade now. The Fluid Damper is a lifetime part, you never need to change it.
This is a longish video but will show the install and removal, also shows my rental tool (in link above or on my tools page) and some other good info.
