I know it wasn’t however I don’t want this thread to get derailed. It’s all good buddy.
That being said I don’t think you’ve read my original post all the way through. The original plan was to replace the tensioner, pulleys and belts due to a whining noise I have developed. At about my mileage or more this has always been common practice for me on my vehicles. So upon putting together a parts list I stumbled upon the repair kit which includes the OEM damper. If you were to price out a balancer by itself on ECS it would be $558 whereas I’m getting what I originally need amounting to about $200-$250 in OEM parts plus a damper! That’s like getting the OEM damper for ~$200.
That is why I’m leading towards just replacing the damper while I’m in there. However, if this clutch pulley for the alternator is only $40, then that would make sense to add to my parts list as well.
