Fluidampr on a M1165A1 REV

[ufoDziner]

I just bought a M1165A1 REV and am wanting to get ahead of some of the maintenance items. One item I’m specifically looking at is the harmonic balancer and replacing it with a Fluidampr version and a Leroy diesel pulley. Can someone confirm if these specific parts will work on a REV with the geared fan drive? Thanks!

You want to plan replacing a harmonic balancer that literally almost no-one does… before talking about fluid changes on hubs, transmission, X-fer case, engine, power steering, brakes, fuel system…and discussing EESS vulnerability, replacing ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod ends…?

Short answer… Leroy is awesome but reconcile that with HummerH1 has almost 300,000 miles on a turbo 6.5 NON-GEP with stock balancer.

Why do I need to talk about things that are already being inspected/relpaced? Doesn't really seem necessary to discuss everything happening to the truck.

You discussed the same questions in that other Hummer Forum IIRC.

As much as I love Will L,, he pushes things like FASS and Leroy harmonic balancer/ gear timing equipment, potentially harder than they need to be pushed.

Yeah, after a couple of days and no response, I figured I'd ask elsewhere too.

Totally understand that the extra/upgraded parts are not entirely necessary (maybe even not at all). However, knowing that the balancer won't ever go bad out here in the desert, and fuel/oil are much cleaner because of an added system, helps me feel more confident while bouncing around in the desert.
